The conflict between the Nikon Scan interface and that of Windows generally
is obvious even to the novice, and indeed, someone who has used only Windows
interfaces is probably the most likely to be disoriented by Nikon's
departure from the norm.  It's time-consuming figure out how to make rollers
and drawers work in this program, when these inteface widgets are not used
by any other Windows software.

Photoshop confirms quite well to Windows standards, and I have not known it
to be unstable or unreliable.  And it is a vastly more complex product than
Nikon Scan.

3.1.2 doesn't sound like a first revision to me.  In any case, it gets the
job done, which is all I require.
