I simply right clicked on the folder that contains adobe reader 9 and 
nothing else, the rest of the Adobe products are in a folder one level 
up that also contains the reader folder, in any case when I click 
properties, that is the size it lists, in fact to be more exact 6.2 
gigabytes.  I did the same with the folder containing LibreOffice, and 
it listed the size of that as 475 megabytes.  So I am pretty much forced 
to believe it.  Perhaps Adobe is going in the right direction again in 
the transition from reader 9 to reader 10, and dumping some unnecessary 
crap.
