Hmm – just fell over on that last night.
In a panic I couldn’t find it and resorted to Adobe.com service to fix a “fire” (well had to do the docx to doc conversion first!).

Read on as Appligent’s CEO Duff Johnson takes the Adobe Reader “Bloatware Bloviation” to task … “For those who still insist that applications can be measured by the time required for download or size of the installation, tell me how long does it take to deal with a PDF that breaks your preferred “lightweight” viewer?

Luckily — so far — it seems like it is going to be a far smoother transition from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
