As I have discussed elsewhere, previously, there is less necessity to add certain software, plug-ins, utilities & such w/ Windows8. Between it & what is or will be current browsers (like IE10) a lot, that wasn't, native, now is. In many cases things, that act as apps, are seemingly redundant since, they could be had, still can be, in other ways & presentations than, 'Metro Style' applications & what could be tiles on the Win8 Start screen. There has been lots of discussion voicing both that taking the APP route is (more) appealing & that it is not. Of course, in the CP, we weren't sure how far along APPs were & waited to take another look in the RP. The opinions included the .pdf reader.
Pre-Win8 a PDF reader was required to be added to the OS. W/ Win8, a PDF APP is native. I do feel there, still, is a place for Adobe Reader (let's say) w/ its features/tool-set. However, upon a second, deeper look @ the OS Reader, now that it is w/ the RP, it does have appeal. The appearance (display) is clear, clean, uncluttered, 'pleasant' visually AND things get nice, slick & smooth when put together w/ what's on Charms. Whether printing, E-mailing & more the offerings, the 'look & feel'. Depending which gets to feel comfiest or what one is wanting to do, @ the moment, w/ a .pdf, the native reader is a pretty appealing additional option (CHOICE) and worth checking into it.

It's great to hear your thoughts on the evolution of software, including the changes and improvements that came with Windows 8. The shift towards having more native features and apps, like the PDF reader in Windows 8, has indeed made certain third-party software less essential.
The native PDF reader in Windows 8 offers a clean and user-friendly interface, integrating well with the overall design of the operating system. It provides basic functionality like viewing, printing, and emailing PDFs, making it a practical choice for many users. However, for those who require advanced features or a specific toolset, software like Adobe Reader may still be preferable.
Ultimately, having options and choices is essential, as different users have varying preferences and requirements. It's crucial to explore and compare different tools to find what works best for individual needs.
