Review on Visioneer OneTouch 8900 USB Scanner by Kai Steinbach

I bought it refurbished and it's good too because I overlooked the locking issue that a lot of people mentioned. The scanner worked decently initially when I used it on Windows 98, sometimes I had to struggle to get it to work properly, but it usually worked. Then, when I upgraded to XP Pro SP2, it was easy to install. . But every once in a while, and with increasing frequency, their XP driver crashes (usually in the middle of a scan) and I have to constantly reinstall the driver to get my scans to work. All the scans I've done with it have been great and when it works it's a pleasure to use. But Visioneer writes really crappy drivers. There's no way their XP driver could get a true "Designed for XP" rating from Windows Hardware Quality Labs, no software designed for XP would score that badly and blame SP2 entirely. I was wondering if I should go for a Windows 98 dual boot if I plan to use a scanner or buy a new scanner. I think I'll buy another brand and you should probably do the same.
