FUCK YOU, Adobe. Your software has just as many goddamn tentacles as Apple's and they are even more fucking impossible to remove. FAIL.

The solution is to never remove Adobe software, just keep buying the new version every 18 months... :-)

I don't want to remove the Adobe program. I want to remove a component. (in this case, the toolbars that Contribute and Acrobat force-install into MS Office that I cannot get rid of no matter what I do.)

My wrath at Apple is mostly based on the bullshit they bundle with iTunes that I neither need nor want and that consistently slows down my computer ARGH.

[adamjury]

Yeah, I'm not down with the way Apple snuck Safari onto a bunch of Windows machines.

I do, however, think it's funny when people bitch about Apple "forcing" people to have Quicktime on their machines in order to use iTunes. iTunes requires Quicktime. It's a distinctly different package because QuickTime can also be used individually, and so one can be updated without the other.

[lassarina]

Oh, I get the QuickTime, yeah. I'm not upset about that. I'm upset about stealth-installing Safari and MobileMe and a whole kit and caboodle of other things that I can see running, but can't disable without digging far more into the guts of my computer's OS than I am qualified to do.

I thought Apple's stuff was supposed to be user-friendly :(

ILU. For many reasons, not least of which this comment. ♥
