Given that so many people want the functionality of being able to save a filled-out form to disk, it won't be long before someone provides it -- either as inexpensive shareware, or as open source software.
Example: Microsoft Office rules the roost with respect to word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software. Sun Microsystems released StarOffice to the public domain, and a large group of volunteer programmers took up the standard. OpenOffice is now used by a growing and significant number of people. It is a very clean app, and it's free for the download from http://www.openoffice.org for just about any OS including Mac OS. Last year, the city of Munich changed from Microsoft OS to Linux, and of course Open Office. That's a lot of cash out of MS's coffers, even considering government discounts.
People running MacOS needed a plug-in for viewing PDF's in a browser. Schubert-It provided one--free. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Acrobat or Reader, but it works for viewing most PDF's.
Adobe can either wake up and provide the functionality which its customers want, or risk losing those customers to the open source programs. There are already several PDF creation programs available free. It's just a matter of time before those become extended to provide the additional functionality that users want.
