His dislike of Flash is well known, but why not just ban ALL Adobe products. Every time I turn my computer on, there's another freakin' update for an Adobe product. I can't stand it - it's even more annoying that a 24 hour Barry Manilow music festival.

Now there is an association I would never have credited, Barry Manilow and any CP lurker.

I agree - how often can those upgrades do ANYTHING ?

What's more annoying is that they use every hacker trick in the book to make their updater run, without even telling you that they've installed it. I have a small program that alerts me every time a program (or installer) tries to put something in a startup dir or in the registry to start when Windows starts. Adobe devs bypass it by being as devious as virus developers. I don't like that kind of behaviour, and do not trust companies that cannot be honest about what they are doing to your computer. They also use registry functions that should only be used by system administrators, to hide registry keys (even from system administrators!) For me, that behaviour classes adobe as malware producers and scum -- what else are they doing to your computer, that they don't want you to know about (and that you probably won't find out about, because the registry keys are hidden from you)?

Ok, it just happened again. :( If I had written an auto-updating tool I'm proud of I probably would like it to run as often as possible. Also they may have business goals (such as 3 updates per week) to ensure the effort put into the updater was worth it. :-D
