[comp.windows.ms] How big is the Windows environment?

I've been running Windows on a 2-meg 386 machine, and I've noticed that
when it first boots up, I only have some 800-900k of free memory!  Is
Windows really that big a program?  Is there a way that the environ-
ment could shrink itself and then load itself back up from the hard
disk in order to give the programs you run from it more memory?
