+You're right, it would be a surprise since MS Windows doesn't use it.
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Windows/386 uses extended memory only.  Windows/286 may be the same way.
+I have no idea about regular 8088 type Windows.

Wrong.  Windows/286 Manual page 241 - Using Expanded Memory with MS-Windows
states "Windows can use expanded memory for applications and data if 
your computers expanded memory manager has special support for windows."

Next paragraph: "Windows can not use extended memory"

I have windows running on an AST premium 286 and it uses the expanded
memory just fine.
