Not to disappoint ;) Windows is so big I'm not sure "solved" is a word that applies. For instance CLAW 1.2 (www.rrsoftware.com) is 120K SLOC and we're still adding to it - and trying to keep anything that big understandable is non-trivial. Even the demo version is a 250K (source) download. Windex (http://www.erols.com/leakstan/Stephe/index.html) is smaller, but also growing.
