Bill doesn't like you. Actually, he doesn't like anyone.

I've never got the acrobat plug in to work successfully with IE,
but dont want to swap to Linux or Netscape. If you specify "view with
application" instead of "view with browser" in the File Helper prefs
for .pdf files, IE will save the file to disk and automatically start
or hand over to the external Acrobat viewer. In terms of usability it's
not that much different a feel, and it actually works properly.
