4GB Memory Limit.

[rockstar]

Hi There.
I have just read an article by a software analyst named Geoff Chappell about the 4GB memory limit in 32bit Vista,how it is not a physical limit but a license limit and he has tested a 32bit Vista machine with 8GB of ram.
Now i know squat about software but to me it sounds plausable,so i bring it to you for an informed opinnion.
If this has been brought up before then i appologise.
The link to the site is below.

In the said article he said Windows Server in it various flavours recognise differing amounts of memory from 64GB up to 128GB for the DataCentre version,same machine,different OS version,where is the physical limit?,sounds like a software limit to me (that is my layman thought only).
If this is true then it sounds like Microsoft has not been 100% honest with both customers and the technology industry!.
