The difference on Windows Vista is that the low fragmentation heap is
the default memory allocator. On Windows XP you need to enable it
specifically for an application. So a possible alternative to this is
just to enable the low fragmentation heap. (done via GetProcessHeaps and
HeapSetInformation Win32 API calls).

Does this also work on NT?

No - the low fragmentation heap was added as an option to Windows XP
and became the default heap in Vista. XP or Server 2003 are
documentated as the lowest versions supporting this on MSDN.
