I seem to remember one of the early beta versions of Windows XP had a built in pdf viewer...

Can anyone confim this? Any place I can download it?

TIA
 
I doubt it. Acrobat reader hooks into multiple things when installed, so maybe you're mistaking that for MS including it?
 
MS betas are known to fluxuate heavily, you can't trust anything in them to be in the final until RC1 hits.
 
Your right, one of the earlier beta version did include one.. Not sure of the exact build but it as an early one... I thought it was a nice extra..
 
I have an RC1 version of XP. Pretty sure its now in there at all. Would be a nice feature though, like the built in file extractor

well sure extras are nice...until the goverment tells you not to include free stuff because it stiffles competion
yes , i like I.E. and i'm not ashamed to admit it.......
 
I don't have anything Adobe. It's just that from what I remember, using the built in viewer, the files would open up much quicker...
 
You are right, I wouldn't run a beta version. But I would try to copy the program over... files, registry keys...(don't ask why 🙂

I also favor IE6 over Netscape and those others that are available for downloading. What do I like about IE6? It works as it is suppose to. All the web pages I visit look how they are suppose to.

Don't wanna name other browser's names because that always causes a few to come back with nasty comments.

I used Netscape for nearly four years. Then I discovered IE 4 and Netscape disappeared into computer heaven (hell?).

I consider IE and Netscape the best of the browsers.

 
Distiller is only necessary for creating PDFs. Which can also be done with free utils, very easily on Linux and semi-easily on Windows.
