Correct.

In Windows, there is much less of a limitation there; CreateProcess has 
a 32K limit.  However, Win2K's command shell was much more limited. 
Therefore, the primary problem is in getting arguments into the driver; 
getting things from the driver to subprocesses is much less problematic, 
in practice.
