Adobe Reader is harder to get going without winding up with an unwanted
guest coming along for the ride.

By the looks of things it has been nicely packaged as a .msi installer.

Not by a huge margin.  Better than it used to be, but still miles behind
the competition.  The fact that most Linux filesystem utility packages
lack a defragmentation tool is rather telling in my opinion.  About the
only one that comes to mind is xfs_fsr.

That said, we can bash Windows all we like, the fact of the matter is
that the "imposter effect" is a very real phenomenon and plenty exist in
the IT world in both the Windows and non-Windows camps.
