I'm not really sure what you are asking about.

In general, Windows will *always* have something to say when you run your 
programs from Windows.  All the business of creating virtual machines, 
servicing interrupts, handling files, disk cache, etc.--all of this is 
done by parts of Windows on your behalf.  You cannot avoid Windows.

Now, what specific details bother you in this setup?

What exactly do you mean by ``clean memory''?
