I guess I belong to a dying breed ;)
I always try to keep my API usage to the least common denominator
so that people may run my programs even on legacy systems.
I wish more programmers would do the same..

Using a newer API "just because it's there", when there is
*no real need* for it, is just plain rude to users IMHO.
(F.ex. using SHGetKnownFolderPath when SHGetFolderPath would suffice.)
