Adobe's updater is just as bad. Adobe Reader's update comes with the
optional Adobe Photo Shop Starter Edition pre-checked. Someone that
makes the mistake of not un-checking Photo Shop will end up with a nasty
surprise when they put their data flashdrive in, only to find out that
now they can only see images and their data is nowhere to be found. This
is supposedly a reputable company who's program takes over a user's
flash drive and won't allow data to be seen. The program shouldn't have
been part of the update in the first place.

Apple provides a consilidated updater for all its software. Microsoft
does this too. So does Adobe. Firefox checks not only for its own
updates, but also for any plug-ins and skins you are using. Are you mad
at all of the above or just Apple?
What do you think we would gain by having dozens of individual updaters
for every little piece of software? I think that would be one heck of a
mess.
