SUMMARY
Most 386/486-based memory managers expect to manage page tables;
Windows NT cannot allow this for security reasons.
NOTE: Some 286-based memory managers can work on RISC-based computers
because VDMs (virtual DOS machines) act as complete 286 machines and
applications can control the local and global descriptor tables.
