Apple is able to make machines that use 4 GB of RAM (and more). At least
with the general consumer version of Windows this is not possible. Who is
to blame is irrelevant...

Well, I would suggest that the "general consumer version of Windows" is the Windows for "general consumer computers", and for that market, price is the thing. So "general consumer computers" don't have 4 GB of RAM yet.

There's no sense in going 64-bit on such a system.

When "general consumer computers" move beyond 4 GB, then 64-bit Vista will be a "general consumer version of Windows".
