windows doesn't work like Linux..:0
In windows it does everything it can to present some free memory to the
admins because they are trained from 9x that says you must have free
physical ram or the systems will crash. Plus windows allocates swap for
every byte of allocated physical memory.
We all know how Linux totally departs from this mindless ideal..:)

Funny though that you say Windows chugs through swap. I remember
millions of posts from newbie Linux 'admins' complaining about Linux
using up all memory available. Does not that imply that Windows does not
chug through swap? Or you are just saying that is what Windows admins do?
