"Hypponen even suggested that Adobe get into an update schedule much like Microsoft,"
All companies should be doing this. Anything less is disappointing the customers.
That being said, I DO NOT want any ads on my computer, so FoxIt is not a choice either. It's my own computer, I shouldn't have to deal with ads just to see the damn PDF.

Theres an option not to install any ad-related stuff with FoxIt.
The only ad I saw in Foxit was the coloured bar in the top right. Not that noticeable after a few seconds of reading. It irritated me like crazy when I first installed the program though.
I think adobe has become a trusted brand, much like having a windows, or starbucks logo. People see it enough, and then they want it. I know before i started getting into computers, thats all i wanted because thats all i knew, and all i saw. It would be very hard to get everyone to switch from adobe, almost every computer has it.

We can always hide it every session, just need 2 clicks anyway...
great so the solution is to have advertisement laden foxit, crap crap crap. being advertised to death here, be damned if im going to click and hide ads every time I open a program.
