Windows 98 Source Code
Overview from Me
Yes, it's really all here. I stumbled across the authentic source code to Windows 98 floating around the Web. Clearly, it's written in C, but even the novice should be able to follow this. With XP being current, I'm sure Microsoft won't mind.
Oh yeah, keep an eye out for the comments (i.e. /* ... */). They're a nice touch!
