Biggest thing I've noticed when writing apps that use the Windows 7 API codepack is that anybody trying to use your app in Vista or XP will hate you if you don't gracefully handle them. Its nice to have and use the 7 bling, but not everybody's playing with the cool kids yet.

Make sure that your application can run as a "standard" user. (Don't do stuff that require elevated privileges)
