That is complete rubbish. Image editors, video editors and games regularly use huge amounts of memory, often in the hundreds of MB. This is why for such software you need huge amounts of RAM.
Plus!, while not so graphics intensive, does use a lot of custom draw effects. This of course will significantly increase memory usage, as data relevant to the drawing of the windows remains in memory to improve performance.
WLM is also quite graphics intensive for what it is, as
everything is custom drawn. Again, this data can reside in memory to improve performance.
