Windows Why cant Adobe make products to co-exist with it's own products?

    It's just plain annoying. I install Adobe 6 pro, cause i use it to create PDF's but i also want Adobe 7 reader installed because it's uber fast at loading pdfs. Now, you'd assume that's all fine and dandy but no. Adobe 6 looses files, trys to repair itself, repeat the process, continually repairs and never actually gets anywhere. It's useless.

    So ive got to uninstall adobe 6 and try and reinstall it and watch it **** adobe 7 up. Wohey.. :duh:

    It doesnt work that well because they share files (obviously). Its like having Word 2003 installed to read files, and Word 2000 to write them. It just doesnt work out.

    Otherwise I'd say Adobe is great at supporting their own software with their software. I use about 5 different Adobe image manipulation programs and they all work together flawlessly.
