At this stage, would it not be easier for you to write an article when Adobe isn't going to release a patch for critical bugs?
Get ready: 'Critical' Adobe Reader patches coming on Tuesday 12 May

Acrobat Reader is but a memory
I am quite happy to have done the same some time back. Anecdotally, many home users have too, at least among my friends and family. I suspect that this mostly affects business and government organizations, so it is still likely to have a large impact.

Patching or Upgrading?
If there isn't a patch and we are forced to "Upgrade" (really a downgrade) to the abomination that is Adobe reader DC. then i will need to be looking for an alternative.
Offering you all these "Cloud" options and subscription services. the people i support just need to "read" PDFs and are of a certain age where these other items just confuse them.

Adobe Acrobat Reader
I loved Reader 4. You could not have all these bad things like flash and active-X to ruin yolur day. It was also fast and lightweight. Why do we need a version that allows you to surf the web, play videos and get infected? Reader 5.1 ruined things and the current version is a real hog. All I want to do is read PDF files.
