Caveat: Here’s why basically I start laughing whenever Adobe tries to do updates.

All_adobe_updatesSee at right a wonderful xkcd comic.

Add to this the fact that Adobe still (years later) doesn’t seem to know what to do in multilingual O/S environments. I get the same question-marky stuff that I screenshotted in that old blog post with respect to Java. I’m not even on the same computer. See below for an Adobe screenshot from just the other day. It’s perhaps the case that this is more a problem of the way I choose to configure my computer as opposed to the update software, per se – but why is it only US-based software companies (e.g. Oracle [Java] or Adobe) that have this problem?

Frankly, Adobe’s update strategy has always seemed one of the most bizarre, broken software undertakings I’ve ever experienced. I’m glad to see that even a leading light such as Mr XKCD sees the same thing.
