"ADOBE READER X IS SUPER SLOW TO LOAD! Bad CNET review!!"
Pros
Yeah, it has more bells and whistles.
Cons
Extra components make each pdf EXTREMELY SLOW TO LOAD!!! Not worth the extra components!!!
Summary
I don't care that there's a few more gadgets added. They completely take away from main purpose of the softward... AS A READER!!!!! I don't care if I can highlight text!!! I just want to be able to open simple PDFs without each one taking 4-5 seconds to open (previous versions open the same PDFs in less than a second). This sounds like a small thing, to wait 4-5 seconds, but that's not the case when you use Adobe Reader for office applications, when you're having to look at a hundred PDFs per day. The extra components make the software no longer as useful because the main purpose of the software now suffers!!!
Adobe has completely dropped the ball with this update!!!
