This falls in line with the "mojave" project thingie of theirs. M$ claims that the problem with vista is it's perception, and then puts "known vista haters" in front of a computer running this Mojave thingie, which I think is just a new UI more than anything else, and then says that out of those people, 90% or something said they liked that one better. Well no s***, if you don't tell them that there is DRM crap and such running in the background, how are they to know? Bring in a pirated movie for testing in this M$ Testing area, suuuuure...

Given that the Mojave 'demonstration' didn't demonstrate any applications or allow the users to interact....

It was covered in the register.

The RAM thing is just bizarre, 64-bit OS are supposed to remove the old RAM restrictions (caused by only 32 bits of address space)
Yes, but that is why it broke. The problem is apparently with the game, which was developed on XP before Vista, which couldn't handle the 'Nope, I definately only see 3. XX Gigabytes of RAM!' thing, but now that I have Vista it's like 'I'm certainly seeing that much RAM, but I'm being given more! What? It's, it's all around me! IT'S CLOSING IN! ARRRRGGGHHH!!! *Game becomse engulfed by RAM*'.

You are trying to rationalize the actions of M$ and those of hardware, good luck, you'll be there a while.

I'm not, I'm just saying that in this one case, it was the developers' fault, maybe even mine.
