Remember the late 90s when "Black Belt" ninja hardcore power VB COM API tricks were all the rage?
Which ones screwed you over bad when it came time to get your code working with Windows 7 and 8?

I'm getting the sinking feeling that the "It just works" runtime support crap really only applies
to the sample code in the tutorials, minus anything having to do with the supplied broken controls
and that it really would be easier to just rewrite everything in Python, Lazarus, or Ruby on Rails.
