Is it just me, or are there an extraordinary number of updates required for Acrobat Reader?

It seems that every time I go to read a PDF file, I am prompted to update my reader. Sometimes for multiple updates! And these are not small updates, but massiver files that take a long time to download and a long time to install.. and I have a fast broadband connection and a fast Core 2 Duo computer, and yet they take forever to install, and tend to monopolize all system resources so that nothing else can be done.

Oh, and did I say, a reboot is necessary after each update!? Sheesh!

Come on, guys! Get your act together. Not everyone has time to waste because you can't code right in the first place. Beginning to look like Micro$oft.
