Leaky Acrobat Reader
Just needed to use a Windows XP machine, and I have to say, I was startled to find it still comes with some many background processes/applets/systemtray gubbins that eats up so many resources.
Then I noticed that if I clicked on a PDF AcroRead32.ext remained resident in memory using 32MB of RAM after I'd closed down all the applications.... is it any wonder GNU/Linux and Mac are becoming more and more common? ..
My prediction for 2017, a vastly commoditised software and OS market, with polished GNU/Linux distros up from the current 6% to a 30% market share.

If Acrobat still stays in memory, why don't you take it with Adobe?
Linux has its fair share of "resident" stuff that no one knows about. Even worse, with cryptic names that most users wouldn't have a clue what they mean.
Adobe haven't responded to a previous email I've sent, so I expect they've not changed tack. A quick look at their website shows only an Online Survey keep popping up, and technical support helplines.
I don't know of any resident stuff which could compare to Acrobat, could you give some examples you've seen on recent GNU/Linux installs?
Cheers
