Reader for 64 bit Linux

Jan 18, 2012 2:38 PM

Why is there not a 64-bit version of Reader for Linux?

 

I find this absolutely ridiculous and unexpected from

a large company like Adobe.

 

  • All new desktop and laptop processors are 64-bit nowadays.
  • Nobody would install a 32-bit OS (for x86 ofcourse, but even arm is getting to 64-bits soon...).
  • The effort needed to provide an 64-bit version along with a 32-bit one is virtually nonexistent.
  • There are people that don't want to or don't need to have two (32 and 64) versions of all their shared libraries or have to cross-compile some of their libraries to support old legacy applications.

 

Or is Reader nowadays an old legacy application?

 

Come on Adobe give us a break.
