Microsoft will probably be up to W12 or W13, but whatever it is I'll
want to take a look before making any changes.

I think they'll call it Windows Panes and we'll call it Windows Pains.

Kidding, of course (at least I hope so).

I'm a photographer (among other things) and the film/slide scanning
capabilities of my hardware is not supported as well on Linux as it is
by Windows. I'd call Linux support "good" but for extremely hi-res scans
not quite as capable as I can do from Windows.

Don't you use Vuescan? That's available for Linux as well as Windows,
so its capabilities should be exactly the same for both.

Rod.


Good point.

Vuescan is a great application and does a job as good or better than the
Epson software.

At present I just have the trial version and am considering making the
purchase.

Probably after windows ten I'll be moving to Linux because is free
and you won't risk of being accused of stealing software. It's a
surreal trap this windows ten technical preview. They give it for
free but you don't even have a decent calculator so people run to
illegal download and install properties of microsoft.

You are a thief and will always steal software. Therefore it doesn't
matter what OS you use.

I'm no thief. I think people who doesn't have a credit card to rent original
microsoft products must use Linux to feel free of silly accusations.

Your English is very good so I'm not trying to pick on you but it should
be " ...who don't have...


alternatively:

"I think a person who doesn't have...."

Thanks, I don't speak english very well, I know a few words. I agree with
you. People is plural, so should be "People who don't".
