That isn't alway true.  Here at work I must use Windows XP.  Since I
have 2 gigs of RAM on my system, I fully utilize it by turning off all
paging.  Windows runs like a dream when it's completely in memory.
I've ran out of memory once, and that was completely my fault for not
paying attention to what I was doing.

Photoshop will complain about not having a page file when I start it,
but since I only use it once every 3 months, I don't really care.  I
prefer GIMP anyways.
