Something that I've been too busy to rag about properly:

Dear Adobe Acrobat Team: (Yes, I know, another dirty hippie Mac user thinking we have rights. What can I say, we're all delusional like that) While I am glad to see that the Reader 9.X is an installer, and would give you a cookie for that, the fact that it's really just a Package Installer wrapper around your bullshit iNosso crapware and so won't work with anything makes me take that cookie back, stomp on it, piss on the crumbs, bury the crumbs in Love Canal, and sow salt on the burial site.

LYING to us about the installer is actually a worse crime than using some obviously proprietary installer, because at least with a proprietary installer, we know it's dicked up, and that we'll have to do extra work. When you LIE to us about it, we think it's all good, do a mass push, then wonder why nothing was installed.

Why did you even fucking bother? Was it just "hey, they're too stupid to notice and there's no real IT on the Mac anyway, so all that shit about mass installs with management tools is just bullshit anyway" or did you really think that we'd somehow not notice that your installer wasn't installing? Or are you just stupid enough to think that what you did made it an actual native installer.

I know, I know, Adobe Acrobat, fuck you stupid mac user, you're lucky to get Reader at all. But if you're going to be evil, then be evil and lazy, and stop doing extra work just to fuck with us, okay?

Jerks.
