Sure, but if you write or port a program to run under windows it should 
follow at least some basic style guidelines.  IIRC they are on the MS 
website somewhere under their "logo program".  It makes life easier for 
everyone using that OS, rather than ending up with a mish-mash of programs 
all doing everything their own way.
