C# does have direct memory pointers

On: C# Memory Leak Torpedoed Princeton's DARPA Chances

C# does have the facility to use direct memory pointers. The memory these pointers point to is never garbage collected. They are mostly used when access to unmanaged code's object is required i.e com and dcom.

Not saying they were using these, but pointing out that the .net garbage collector doesn't clean everything.
