Adobe Reader 9.4.7 Adobe shows wrong Version 9.4.6.252 when you check most of the EXE or DLL files. This makes it very nice for Deployment people to check for correct versions. At least the Main Executable should be fixed in such a planned quarterly release of such a large software company. Not even can't they hold their software safe they are unable to mention correct Versioning in their files.
We don't want to mention the Flash/HTML5 catastrophe they are currently running into because all the Screen Artist and advertising departments who did flash have no clue about cross browser html code. (IPHONE geeks who brought us bring you own device crap!)
