Windows 9x is a 32-bit shell on a 16-bit operating system originally written
for an 8-bit processor by a 4-bit company without 2 bits of sense.
(Apologies to the unknown originator of this saying for any misquoting.)
Windows 2000 & NT aren't (except for the 4-bit company thing).

I.e. I don't know exactly why Win98 has a limit on array size that Win 2000
and NT don't, but I'm not at all surprised.
