I guess I have to go through the operating system to get access to my program's memory, i.e. by using functions defined in kernal32.lib
The OS allocates memory, not your program. The memory address space is shared amoungst all processes, and the OS will give you bits that you can use, because it is the only thing keeping track of who is using what bit of memory.
