…should compile on most compilers (except those under Windows):

```auto
/* Source Code to Windows 98 -- Enjoy! */ 

#include "win31.h" 
#include "win95.h" 
#include "evenmore.h" 
#include "oldstuff.h" 
#include "billrulz.h" 
#define INSTALL = HARD 

char make_prog_look_big[1600000]; 
void main() 
{ 
while(!CRASHED) 
{ 
display_copyright_message(); 
display_bill_rules_message(); 
do_nothing_loop(); 
if (first_time_installation) 
{ 
make_50_megabyte_swapfile(); 
do_nothing_loop(); 
totally_screw_up_HPFS_file_system(); 
search_and_destroy_the_rest_of_OS/2(); 
hang_system(); 
} 

write_something(anything); 
display_copyright_message(); 
do_nothing_loop(); 
do_some_stuff(); 

if (still_not_crashed) 
{ 
display_copyright_message(); 
do_nothing_loop(); 
basically_run_windows_3.1(); 
do_nothing_loop(); 
do_nothing_loop(); 
} 
} 

if (detect_cache())

if (fast_cpu()) 
{ 
set_wait_states(lots); 
set_mouse(speed, very_slow); 
set_mouse(action, jumpy); 
set_mouse(reaction, sometimes); 
} 

/* printf("Welcome to Windows 3.11"); */ 
/* printf("Welcome to Windows 95"); */ 
printf("Welcome to Windows 98"); 
if (system_ok()) 
crash(to_dos_prompt) 
else 
system_memory = open("a:\swp0001.swp", O_CREATE);

this is how windows would look like in java

> 

import microsoft.trouble.\*;

public class win98 {  
public static void main (String args) {

for (int i = 0, i \<= 0, i=i;) {  
break;  
}  
}  
}

would be the simplest code i think ^^
