I've been using foxitpro on several machines for about a year now and
found like the rest of you that it is much better reader.

Quicker and less resource hungry, plus a miniscule download.

Personally I am now an Ubuntu (linux convert) simply due to the sheer
amount of problems windows has with security holes etc.

I have been using ubuntu for the past 2-3 months with windows 2000 as a
VM for those apps that i can't live without and haven't got around to
installing in linux. (dreamweaver )

I haven't found any good reason to go back to windows - and personally
that has seriously surprised me having tried it yearly for the past decade.

Cheers

Chris

It did however crash whilst I was doing this!  going to give it a good workout and see how it compares in other areas though.
