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?
