Thank-you for the summary of your statistical analysis. Please post a 
link of your raw data, I'm sure Adobe would appreciate the work you have 
done so that their marketing department doesn't have to redo your work.

I believe Adobe does make a version of Reader available on their ftp 
site that doesn't include Air and Acrobat.com I think they could do a 
better job of making that version easily available to users. However, 
some of the expanded feature set of Reader is only available with Air 
and Acrobat.com. Reader is Adobe's product and they are free to bundle 
it as they wish. You are free not to use it. Adobe bundled Adobe Connect 
with their version 8 of Reader. No choice was involved.

Adobe is moving Acrobat and Reader from its roots as electronic paper to 
a multi-platform information collaboration tool. There are other 
companies that are providing the pure pdf reader technology for people 
that do not want the added bloat Adobe's new software contains. The 
beauty of the free market place is you get to choose.

Personally, I would love Adobe to provide a small efficient pdf reader. 
There are people with older computers that don't have the space to spare 
for the behemoth that Reader has become. But I guess that is not the 
market that Adobe wishes to court.
