Almost a 100 PictureBox components on a Windows form's form eats around 300 
Mb of RAM. How to work around this?

I didn’t say how bad it was. You were the one complaining about how
much memory it was using, not me. It is that bad.

Do you think that debating here about how good or bad Windows is
can possibly lead to a meaningful outcome?  I suggest dropping
the discussion.

If you're displaying them as thumbnails/previews, then generate smaller
images for them as thumbnails/previews. Don't directly display the source
images. Especially if the source images are large.
