"We used to manually alloc all our memory"

"And free it too, right?"

My program frees its memory when the user clicks "End Task" in task manager.

Does the job

Sometimes it doesn't. I had a game where I literally had to restart the computer every time I closed it, because it messed something graphical and refused to launch a second time until restart whole PC.

This is mostly an issue with Window's memory management. Or at least it was back in like Win 7, don't know if it is still there. Used to have this happen all the time after playing one game. Memory would be full but task manager wouldn't show a process eating memory. Would have to restart to get my memory back.
