What happens if you try to call a API that does not exist? Does Win32::API trap the error or do you get an exception? In any event, you could have a config page/menu/window with this setting disabled(non updateable) and turned off by default, then verify the OS version is x or higher (using Win32::GetOSVersion() or whatever) and enabling the control....
Anyway, even if it only works on certain OS's, it still a cool feature for those OS's that support. As Johan says, don't count on a gimmick to define the app, where if it does not work, the app doesn't work...
