When you use new (or malloc) to allocate memory, what is really happening here? Does Windows see it? I know you can allocate memory through Windows, asking for a chunck of memory but if you use "new" (C++ keyword), then are you going around Windows for your memory needs?

Just trying to better understand how new (or malloc) works.
