Adobe is, wittingly or not, acquiring a reputation as an MS stooge.  I 
recently attempted to download some files from the Adobe site and was
informed I had to use MSIE.  Since I don't use that browser, I couldn't
download.

Also, Adobe apparently double-crossed some US government agency regarding
support for non-MS systems, as a result of which said agency has detailed
instructions how special care must be given to PDF file creation to ensure
compatibility with the embedded base of browsers.

The biggest download monthly from my website is the article on how to
deal with the Colorspace Error, which so many encounter due to versional
incompatibilities in Adobe software on the MS model.   This problem will only 
worsen as Adobe is drawn into the MS black hole.
