"I had made a recommendation to my company that we investigate replacing at least sme of our PC operating systems with Linux, but because of watching this problem and seeing how the problem isn't addressed immediately, I won't recommend Ubuntu if they decide to switch some of the computers over to Linux. I don't think all 10,000+ PCs at PACCAR (worldwide) would be able to use a different (non-Windows) OS, but many of them could definitely be switched over."

No! You really must try it out! Ubuntu Feisty Fawn is by the way Linux but not all Linux is Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Yet what are you talking about? This is about a scanner... and now... with scanbuttond it all works perfect and nobody is bothered. You must mix up, if i am not mistaken, the perfectionist attitude of the true geeks who want to program the best possible and they can in Linux. I can guarantee you this. Please do not judge the all of "Linux" because of this very small trivial issue; the people who were complaining were people used to the POWER of Linux and then 'we' do not accept such a little flaw..., but you see: once scanbuttond for to scan everyone was happy! Please do not mix up the perfectionist attitude of the true programming talented geeks and see this little scanner issue in proportion.

Linux is still the best; you just only have to choose wisely the distro for what you need. Most people here work with standalone machines, i suppose, but you want a whole OS for a whole company, i suppose; that is different stuff and you must know that people really understanding how to configure OS Linux will not mistakes and will not leave obstructions in the system but correct it. Really, i feel you do not yet fully grasp the true power of the Open Source. Please so do not judge / misjudge the all of Linux on this then but only trivial scanbuttond issue in just one distro of Linuxkernel.

And anyway: see how happy i am with this scanbuttond "bug solved" for my scanner! Also that is the power of Linux.
