Just another Microsoft MVPs site
On boot-up this morning (before any other app had a chance to load, mind you), I was confronted with the following Adobe Flash message:
Stop taking over my computer, Adobe. Your slow, unresponsive, horrible apps are stealing my joy.
Incidentally, I did do the update. It took all of, maybe, 20 seconds.
Now, what do I need this for? Seems like Adobe hasn’t learned their lesson in including additional crapware with their products. I opted out of the Google browser toolbar, like I always do, so why sneak something else onto my computer? Makes me wonder what else they installed.

Time Warner pushed out a digital cable box upgrade yesterday to us, but is continuing to do so for all Time Warner customers in this area. Its a neat upgrade, and it seemed to work well for us.
