It means that with the best will in the world, your problems may not be 
at the top of the developers list. 
If MS with a $Billion budget can't get reading and writing to a 
filesystem right, then waiting a little while for a scanner to work 
isn't the end of the world.
Having upgraded through Windows 2.0 to 3.0 to 3.11 to '95, 95a/b, '98, 
ME, 2000, SP1-4, XP, SP1-2, and now Vista... Along with traumas far 
worse than a dead scanner, I think Dapper to Edgy to Fiesty has gone 
very smoothly... a few little hiccups granted but very smoothly....
