Adobe Reader Zero Day Vulnerability - Page 2

It is good that we have plenty of choices concerning PDF tools and readers. Hopefully this issue of Adobe controlling the flash video market will not last long (knock on wood). I personally don't like it, and think it is bad for the public in general when one entity has such a strong hold on the flash video side of the web.

Guess my risk level is in their "significantly lower" bracket then using Linux

What they should say is "non existent unless you're dumb enough to give something you've never heard of permission to run as root in your system "
