Adobe Reader Updates, Evil — Same Thing
By Daniel Miessler on June 15th, 2006: Tagged as Rants | Software
Until today I’d never installed a single Adobe Reader update. I’ve been prompted many times over the years but I avoided it because I was somehow sure that it would be annoying.
Today my fears were justified. I decided to go ahead and do it and was soon prompted to reboot my system. Bastards.
But that’s not the bad part. I begrudgingly rebooted and went to lunch. When I got back and logged in, I was immediately presented with a friendly dialogue box from Adobe. It told me I needed to reboot to finish the install of the Adobe Reader update.
Bastards2.

Sounds like windows update, but with less rebooting.

What is the big deal about having to reboot, we’re receiving free software to be able to perform certain tasks online. I’m very grateful for it as I’m on very limited income but can enjoy many things. Thanks Adobe or whomever owns this program.
