Seems like a pretty bad excuse.
a) lets blame MS for not moving faster to 64 bit 
b) most people don't need more than 2 gig these days -which only cost about $30.
c) even games (and other apps) can't use more ram because memory bandwidth sucks. 
I rather see the industry blame themselves for a myopic strategy - suppose that's not going to happen
