The problem I find with the Adobe stable of pdf readers/creators (and with other Adobe products) isn't so much the slow launch -- they seem to have fixed that in the latest versions -- as their extraordinary intrusiveness in the way they install themselves. The upshot is that sometimes it can be nightmare to install the software, and sometimes bits of it never work properly, returning weird error messages. If you track these problems down in the Adobe knowledge base (or whatever it's called) they turn out to be to do with the way permissions are set (or aren't) in the Windows registry, and the "solution" is often to change what can turn out to be dozens of key permissions (as if any normal user wants to go anywhere near the registry). And they insert all manner of menu items in other applications without asking permission. Oh, and the prices, too. Foxit is such a refreshing change from this bloatware.
