As if there're not enough reasons to despise Adobe Acrobat: it's bloated, it's slow, it uses a proprietary format incompatible with most other readers, it uses DRM, heck, it even spies on you! Now Nicholas found one more reason for us to shudder at the worst abomination ever dared calling itself an e-book reader: Adobe plans to merge Adobe Acrobat and Macromedia Flash into a so-called "universal client". Let's hope they'll provide a universal uninstaller with it.
