Depends on the processor, and your memory limits. Even C didn't do you 
any good if you had to cram stuff in a tiny chunk of memory, and still 
have it work. Nearly everything on Apple IIs was done in assembly.

void main () {

     if version = "Vista" {
       call slow_by_half();
       call DRM_everything();
     }
     call functional_code();
   }
   else
     call crash_windows();
}
