I was just reading a post by Scott Hanselman on switching off of Acrobat Reader to Foxit's Reader.  I must say I wish I had known about this tool a long time ago.  While I've never had Acrobat crash as Scott did, I've never really enjoyed using it.  Among other things its load time was WAY too long simply to read a document (sure, there are ways to speed it up, but it's a headache).

1. Gone are the load times; Foxit Reader 1.3 loads almost instantaneously.
2. Gone is the bloat; Foxit Reader is about 2.5 MB and runs without an installer and with a smaller memory footprint (about 50% smaller).

It's added to my \Tools directory and my thumb drives...awesome!
