Besides waiting and seeing, I, for one, am really pleased that someone in the
software industry seeks the advice of the people who really use the software.
Using a group that does a lot of scanning would seem to be the best place to go
to get volunteers for a test. I have never heard of Nikon Scan, or any other
company relying on the registered owners of their equipment or software to Beta
Test. They may do it, but I am not aware of it. They seem to develop the
program in a closet, do some sort of test on a specific machine with the
peripherals they want and then announce it.
