[GTALUG] scanner under Windows under Linux?

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

This message is also a test of the list.

CZUR makes interesting page scanners: <https://shop.czur.com/>
We actually have a couple.

Until recently, all of their scanners' software only runs under Windows.
The latest one has support for Linux but is very expensive.

Can I easily run Window under Linux in a way that would drive these 
scanners?  I think that the Windows system would need control of the USB 
port to which the scanner is connected.

I seem to remember that long ago Sun/Oracle Virtual Box was the only 
VM that gave decent USB access to a virtual Windows.  I don't know the 
state of the art now.

Answering some of my questions (but not USB):
