I estimate that at 20000 lines, as generic and data driven as possible, based on my experience with the Amiga.
And this is why the younger programmers who've never wrestled with anything but Windows APIs think you're hallucinating.
Bloatware breeds bloatware, and modern hardware capacity allows the majority of programmers to hardly care about resource usage.
I can believe you're capable of writing tight enough code to meet your estimate, but I don't believe such code can be written for any flavor of Windows OS.
Also, I strongly recommend that anyone with unreliable power invest in an uninterruptable power supply.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
