I had some B grade brand printers and scanners for the 98 to XP migration.
Brother and co failed to show up with drivers. They may still not have them...

I switched it all out to more A grade companies with the thinking that they would have drivers ready to go for all their products produced in the last 10 years or so, to keep their business customers happy etc...

When I was switching, I was going to get HP, but they seem to have slid a bit, and I got Canon, but now I have their items, I have this eerie feeling that they may work like the bottom feeders and hose the people that bought their product and not release new drivers for 6 months to a year after Vista release.

With MS Vista on the horizon, does anyone have any past experience (win 98 to 2000 or XP etc) with the Canon printer, scanner, camera driver upgrades - do they produce them for OS release, or do they give the customer the shaft and make them wait, trying to get a sale in the process?

Thanks
