I have an Agfa scanner whose driver works only in Windows 98 or ME. The driver that is supposedly designed for Win 2000 doesn't work, and Agfa hasn't even bothered to make a driver for XP. So I have done two things: 1) partitioned my hard drive so that I am running Win XP in one partition with all my main programs, and Win ME in the other with only scanner-related software on it (OCR, Word Processor, NeatImage); 2) decided never to buy anything from Agfa ever again.
Perhaps some activist might like to publish a list of companies that haven't the integrity to support the products for which their customers have paid them well. A boycott would be entirely in order here. As soon as it becomes feasible, I fully intend to boycott Microsoft. I am already using "OpenOffice.org", which is the total equal of Microsoft Office, opens and saves documents in MS Office format, and is freeware for all operating systems. And I am keeping an eye on the development of "Lindows"
