well, one might hope that it would run under *any* version of windows, 
and ideally, *any* OS.

that would push towards using an interpreted as opposed to a compiled 
language like java, javascript, python, etc. for which run time 
environments exist for almost everything.

If you do it in javascript (which the CS majors will hate, it's a 
terrible terrible language) then any web browser can run it.

It's kind of a pain, but once you've got python installed, stuff that's 
in python seems to run pretty much the same in all environments.
