The author doesn't actually speculate that it's to make money, that was my theory.
The author does however prove that the 3gb limit on 32-bit is a licensing issue, nothing else. He mods his own kernel to disable the license check, and then proceeds to run a 32-bit XP with 8 GB of working memory.
The reason for this? Ask MS .. I have no idea why they want to create this limit, but they sure have created it, where no limit needed to exist.
