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.

You sure twist things a lot to try to work out a reason why the lack of
support for 4 GB of RAM is not a problem.

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".

With OS X you are already there... with Windows, well, someday. OK.
