Microsoft generally doesn't produce drivers for thrid party hardware.

Visioneer has made Vista drivers for the Strobe XP100:

Strobe XP 100 Drivers and Manuals

(There may be an issue with model numbers.)

They'll probably support Windows 7, but you may have to mess with them a bit if there's an OS version check that prevents installation on Win7.
