Adobe Reader

Has anyone noticed that Adobe Reader gets worse with every release? Version 4 was great. It was fast and didn't crash, and didn't spread it's tentacles into everything. I just installed version 7 onto mum's computer, but it freaked me out. It tried to install all this extra software everywhere, and Control Panel simultaneously broke so I couldn't uninstall it. I struggled with it for about 20 minutes, as everything crashed around it. Luckily I forcibly rebooted the computer, and uninstalled it before it could get a good foothold. You have to be ruthless with some software and kill them while they're initialising. I was lucky it took almost a minute to start.

  2. Luckily, I have no need for Adobe Reader. I have OS X.

  3. Yeah. Ubuntu has a really good PDF reader too. There’s actually nothing wrong with PDF itself. Adobe just isn’t good at writing software.
