One of the biggest undocumented features about Windows 95 is the inclusion of QBASIC. It is in the other\oldmsdos directory of the release 2 CD. I don't know whether it comes with other versions.

I have written several programs in QBASIC but the most interesting is probably converse.bas. It is a 'Chatterbot' program, which attempts to talk with the user in english. It uses a very simple keyword search and doesn't understand grammer so it isn't going to pass the turing test. The good thing about it is that it is easy to add more knowledge to it.

If you are interested in chatterbots in general then the Simon Laven page has lots of information and links to programs.
