<i>&gt; My question is: Why would anyone _need_ SANE for windows?</i><br>
<i>&gt; AFAIK, all scanners come with windows software. And _all_ of the new</i><br>
<i>&gt; ones come with 32bit versions for use with W95/WinNT/W98.</i><br>
<i>&gt; It seems to me that any of us who want SANE, want it for the specific</i><br>
<i>&gt; reason to get rid of windows once and for all.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Let's face it, scanning software is the last thing on the face of this</i><br>
<i>&gt; planet that we need windows for.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Myself, I've alredy deleted windows from both of my systems.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Win3.1 from the 486 and W95 from the P150. My scanner will just be</i><br>
<i>&gt; sitting here collecting dust untill I have either DOS or Linux software</i><br>
<i>&gt; to use it with.</i><br>
<p>
Actually, SANE on windows could be an incredibly GOOD thing, assuming that<br>
vendors pay some attention.. Just think about it, a framework into which<br>
drivers can be written and used on practically ANY O/S.. And since it's non<br>
proprietary, there's a hope they'd find it non-threatending... <br>
<p>
Also, some people HAVE to use windows for various reasons (corporate standards<br>
for example), why should they lose out from being SANEd??<br>
