What we do at work, among other things we stress the bejesus out of every
program in the Adobe Acrobat suite. This is on Windows, both 95 and 98.
Dell and Micron computers, lots of RAM, fast peripherals. Exchange crashes
at least once a day, usually bringing down other apps with it, even
Windows Explorer). And the single application on my personal Mac which
crashes more often than all other programs combined (and I do a lot of
development) is Acrobat Reader.

I just happen to think that Adobe turns out some bad-quality stuff.
