Sure. That's why you have the choice of quite some kernels in Linux/BSD/UX land....

Also, why does a different kernel require "significantly" more RAM?

I smell either politics (maybe even carrier/industry-related) and/or, as usual, plain incompetence behind the reasonings from MSFT.

EDIT: wasn't there an experiment undertaken by some guy to test how many iterations of a certain Microsoft desktop OS older (OLD) hardware could boot? Simliar to, but not exactly this.
