why adobe updater?

hate the updater too

im with this guy....

Well there you go - you found no middle ground. Adobe updater is the most annoying piece of useless software I have ever encountered, I have switched to Foxit. CTFO most people only want to read simple pdfs. If anything else is required either they should be able to choose on install, or the program prompts an update WHEN NEEDED i.e. when the user does something that requires the update. It is that simple. e.g. "Sorry to read this correctly [etc.], we need to do a quick update"+no bloody reboot!

You should totally call them up and demand a refund right away. Adobe obviously doesn't deserve your business.

this is weird!

I never update anything, but Adobe / Creative / Apple / Java have a serious problem: Even if I told it during setup that I don't want it searching for updates, it'll insist on searching. How many updates suddenly introduce a new bug? I don't like change, I don't like when something new changes my program's functionality. Let my system stay static, and don't bog it down with useless updates, and if I tell it to cancel the update, I don't mean "try again in twenty minutes"

If the milk costs £400 a bottle I would...

I'm against piracy, but the price of software should stay reasonable. Especially if it's used for educational purposes as in lightning89's case.

just don't buy the software if you don't think it's worth it.

you have to admit though, that milk analogy was a bad idea. I can imagine someone being killed for a bottle of milk in a desert, for example, but there can possibly be no reason to kill over photoshop :)

genuis...
