Just why is Adobe doing this again ?
They can't be serious. Didn't they try to get some feedback from bundling the Yahoo! Toolbar w/ Adobe Reader ? Not only were the last couple of versions of Adobe Reader a disaster resource-wise, but they seem to be at the point where they'd do anything to annoy their customers !

I don't get it. Make great software, get paid. But stop all this advertising nonsense. When is this system going to collapse ? Yahoo! and Google will take a serious hit when it does, but am I the only one to believe it's becoming a necessity to wipe out all this crap ?
