It's Adobe's pathetic attempt to get new users for their Peer 2 Peer software "Adobe AIR". Acrobat.com program ties into Adobe Reader to allow Peer2Peer sharing of .pdf documents. (you really need regular Acrobat to share edited documents) but Adobe does give you five (NOTE only 5) usages to create / convert 5 .pdf documents with this CRAP! You'll notice in XP's Add/Remove programs that you can uninstall both Acrobat.com and Adobe AIR - but ONLY after you reboot. What really ticks me off about this is that Adobe didn't even give an option NOT to install this CRAP during the install (I would expect something like the Google Toolbar tick)!!! Since 90% or more of ordinary Reader users don't use or want this kind of crap I think they have way overstepped their bounds by installing adddtional 'sharing software' without the user's knowledge! Someone at Adobe must have been on their knees over at SONY!
