I'm kind of wondering why you're comparing the memory usage of each of these Hello World programs in the different languages; is that supposed to be a way to determine which language is better? God, I hope not.
Furthermore, what also saddens me is your leap from this into the Windows 8 Kernel and managed, but I have a feeling you don't know what managed means.
Also, since you used "using System;" so you don't have to write the namespace System before Console. ReadKey() probably doesn't do what you think it does; I think your intention would be Read().
Lastly, you don't have to wonder if they generate the same code, since you can view the disassembly very easily in VS2010, but ensure you're viewing the release build when you do so.
