I don't see MS offering a free reader for Word files, one needs to buy a
word processing program of some sort to read/convert the file.


Sorry, but that's not true. There is free viewer for both powerpoint and word files.

Nevertheless you've got a lot of points. Acrobat Reader is a marvellous tool for many things.

What bothers me is Adobe's attitude towards it's customers. And I'm talking about paying (Acrobat) customers. Take Adobe's support: From Germany, I have to call a phone number in Scotland, only to find out that there's virtually no support for javascript related problems. If you go by value for money, this list should carry a price tag higher than Acrobat.

I have at times been wondering whether Adobe just bought the original Acrobat software and only by and by found out what marvellous stuff there's inside - only to take it out in the next version and market it separately. (I still keep my Acrobat 4 around for it's OCR-capabilities.)

Cheers,
Stefan
