Certainly the majority of branded new computers usually have Adobe Acrobat
Reader flung in for free (well it is free for anyone to download from Adobe
anyway). My only concern about the Adobe reader is the size of the download
and disproportionate disk space it hogs: it is HUGE. For that reason I use
FoxIt Reader which is a positively slim line by comparison. However,
currently the disadvantage with FoxIt is that it doesn't have a previewer in
Vista Explorer - yet.
