Sizes of Adobe Reader Installers Through the Years
Alexander Gromnitsky (via Hacker News):
At the time of writing, the most recent Adobe Reader 25.x.y.z 64-bit installer for Windows 11 weights 687,230,424 bytes. After installation, the program includes ‘AI’ (of course), an auto-updater, sprinkled ads for Acrobat online services everywhere, and 2 GUIs: ’new’ and ‘old’.
It looks like a steady, pretty linear increase until you realize that the graph use a log scale…
