-Although segmentation allows for advanced memory management and the implementation of memory protection, none of the popular operating systems, including Windows, Linux or MacOS, ever used it. In Windows, all segment registers, via descriptors, point to the zero base address and the maximal limit, resulting in the flat memory model. In this approach, the segmentation de facto does not function. Memory protection is implemented at the paging level. The flat memory model is shown in the Fig {{ref>ia32flat}}.+Although segmentation allows for advanced memory management and the implementation of memory protection, none of the popular operating systems, including Windows, Linux-based, or MacOS, has ever used it.
