As long as we're bitching about Adobe's incompetence don't forget Acrobat 
Reader. Reader is full of memory leaks, if Adobe built submarines they 
would put screen doors on them. Every release of Reader is worse than the 
last, have you noticed that if you keep multiple documents open it will 
have periodic hangs that can last for a minute? Acrobat has been around 
since the mid 90s, how is it possible that they haven't been able to fix 
it in all that time?
