When you run win 9x, the OS DON'T keep track of the memory used by each applications
individualy, 
just the agragate useage. It don't know what application use what bit of memory!!!
Thus, when you 
force close an application, the OS can't free the memory that this application was
using. Under Win 
9x, each application MUST keep track of it's own memory useage and each application
must liberate 
that mamory when it no longer needs it.
