I dun think this is the case, Windows too caches pages and u can conduct various experiments to check that. What I doubt is the reading that taskmanager shows ..may b it only show the app in use and not the cached pages, while linux does show the actual state of the memory .. Any body got any ideas on this one !!

When u start the same app again on linux it would load up from the cache and take less time to load. This is not the case with windows.
