To be able to highlight an entry and have the system say "already installed," as it did before, was a wonderful feature!

Why was removing this a deliberate part of the re-design? It's illogical. It means that users of Adobe Reader have to keep some sort of manual list of what updates and add-ins are already installed. We have shocking news for you: Adobe Reader is not the only application any of us has on our systems!

Moreover, when we do not have perfect recall of what Adobe Reader updates and add-ins we have already installed, we will be overly-taxing the Adobe servers by repeatedly downloading updates that are already on our system.

The way I see it, there was no good reason to change this, and every reason to have left well enough alone, on both sides of the equation, yours and ours. You have only created extra work for your users worldwide as well as for your own systems.

Sad, but true . . . .
