:) It wouldn't have to do with Adobe's dubious honor as the most
insecure software vendor on the planet [1,2], would it? I haven't come
across Adobe-2011 insecurity statements (from citable sources), but
they sure make a lot of appearances on Full Disclosure and Bugtraq.
I'm surprised high security environments even allow Adobe's warez to
run. Even my humble home network and office network do not.
