Anyone know why WIA has not been moved to .Net? As best as I can tell, the
current WIA (WIA automation) is a pre-XP designed API. Yes, I know about
the com interop stuff - it does not work for the real world.

Are there any inexpensive alternatives? I worked for a company that
purchased 3rd party components and after going through about 4 of them we
concluded the WIA win32 stuff was better. But our products are in .Net and
does not seem to be any good alternatives.

What's WIA and what does it do?
