Windows. Seriously, OCR is not a new technology, what makes programs
better than others is the large library of fonts that it knows how to
handle. Commercial programs include lots of code to handle many fonts
of both different types and sizes.
How about Tesseract?

It's English only, but it's been in the market for a long time (only
recently open sourced), so I would not expect it to have this kind of
problem.
Any war/sucess stories about it here?
