The 14 character password limit in some versions of Windows is a side effect of using LM and NTLM (original "flavor", not NTLMv2) hashes used in Windows NT domains and maintaining compatibility therewith. It's not related to Active Directory, per se.

Nobody should be using LM or NTLM hashes anymore today, for all that that means... >sigh<
