Adobe Acrobat Kills Me

As should (hopefully) be evident by this site, I am a software developer.  One thing about being a software developer is that you notice when applications you use are poorly written.  Adobe Acrobat Reader is one of those highly annoying pieces of software.

Not only does the install try 5 times to trick you into installing the crappy Yahoo toolbar, but every freakin' time you try to open a PDF you first of all get this screen:

And then you get asked to install 50 Million Updates!!!  It is so annoying.  If I want to update the reader, I am highly capable of doing it myself.  If I can open the document I want to open with my current version, please let me do it and leave me alone!
