When Windows shuts down, it copies a new operating system to memory address zero.
It instructs the hardware/bios/eufi for next warm boot to:
1. Do not clear RAM

This is not a new idea. the only way to get an 80286 out of protected mode was a hard reset.
This would allow easier OS development and dedicated software without disk/partition/boot program changes, safer/easier.
usuing a virtual machine is probably easier.
