Nah, somewhat difficult is dealing with OLE objects on the clipboard, 
but that's mainly because of the special memory allocator requirements, 
serialization and marshaling requirements.

Rather difficult is writing an Dispatch interface with no framework.

Ludicrously difficult is programming in machine code for a processor 
that doesn't yet exist's micro-ops. ;)
