I agree.



I think trying to trick people into
installing third party crap software is stupid and I would hope that Adobe
makes enough money on its own that it doesnt need to sellout to Yahoo.

Summary, as I recall: Those few IE/Win users who do not use the normal 
ActiveX background installation, but are instead directed to the Adobe 
webpages, are the ones who can see additional download offers on those 
pages. Specifying a minimum version in your OBJECT tag should be enough 
to avoid any exposure to unwanted offers.

That's not really suitable IMO.  I've found the automated install 
process to be less than reliable - numerous people that I've asked to 
test our new flex apps have gotten a Connecting.. dialog who were 
running Flash 7/8 that just hung there forever... before we roll out any 
flex apps I'd like to recommend people to to a web site to install 
because it seems to be more reliable that way.

I second the idea about Adobe making enough money off their products 
that they shouldn't need to throw that yahoo toolbar crap at everyone. 
And don't give me the They can uncheck the box line either.  You and I 
may be smart enough to do that but there are a phenomenal amount of 
people out there who just accept the defaults.
