Right, the clients need software and will buy it because it is a
marginal cost as compared to the imaging machine. The problem there is
the competition. If the competition sells a similar software for
2,000$ less, clients will tend to pick them.
The software should work on different OS (Win and Unix, eventually
also Mac). I agree about the doubts regarding the user interface...
this is a major concern for me.

Is there a list of IDL commercial software available? As you say, the
users won't be researchers, and their tolerance is lower.
