Featured Windows Download: Open PDF's in a flash with Sumatra

Windows only: The Sumatra PDF Viewer is a tiny open source portable reader that opens PDF's in the blink of an eye. Bloat and startup time is a major drawback to Adobe Reader, so we fled to the faster arms of FoxIt Reader long ago. However, at 850KB, Sumatra is way slimmer than FoxIt, and it's a single .exe file that runs nicely from a USB drive. Plus, it's open source and it's got a killer list of Gmail-like keyboard shortcuts. Sumatra PDF Viewer is a free download for Windows only. Thanks, Shankar!

Oh God! My hatred for the

Oh God! My hatred for the malformed bloatware that is Adobe PDF Reader makes me invoke thee! I shall install this software on all my computers and drown Adobe's bloatware in a flood of uninstallations.

PS: Is it me or does the software logo looks like a rip-off of the first issue of Watchmen...
