I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO ADOBE

As for rebooting, most times it seems to be laziness on the part of the software packagers... many a time I've chosen the restart later option and found everything to be fully functional

yoink! cheers mate gonna uninstall adobe later

this is it, I often skip reboot and am still able to use the app - it's sheer laziness most of the time!

If you're referring to windows, that has no problem with drivers being reloaded without restarting the system.
I've done it myself once or twice to fix a fault and I've not had to restart after windows reinstalled the device drivers.

I will take your word for it since I don't know enough about Wîndows internals.

Deveoper laziness, or ignorance that they don't realise that reboots should be unnecessary, then?

me neither but have seen so many apps install with no reboot that when you come across one you think 'oh for f*cks sake!'
