While I have no doubt it sneaked its way in though some means you weren't expecting, I've never seen air install automatically. It often is shoehorned in though flash, but there are numerous prompts about what it's about to do.
- eiji 16y agoIt installs itself together with "Adobe Reader 9" with NO option for exclusion ("... to leverage A.Air"). You can deinstall it separatly after installation.
- tomlin 16y agoIt doesn't, though. I just installed Adobe Reader 9 and it clearly asked me about Air. These FUD statements don't deserve any respect.

- eiji 16y agoOkay, my experience comes from an installation in August 2010. Appreciate the update.
- tvon 16y agoIt's a bit argumentative to assume it's FUD and not an honest mistake or a change in the Adobe Reader 9 installation process.
- tomlin 16y agoIn this case maybe. Adobe, just like any entity, deserves a true projection. If I sat on HN bashing Adobe I'd have much higher karma. Good thing I'm not here for karma.
- eogas 16y agoI just installed Adobe Reader 9 on XP and it didn't install AIR.
