Microsoft bites bullet, licenses Adobe's Flash Lite for Windows Mobile

Microsoft is expected to shore-up its much maligned Internet Explorer Mobile browser this morning by announcing new Flash Lite support. We have no idea when the new plug-in technology (including Reader LE for PDFs) might make it into Windows Mobile. Nevertheless, with the far superior Skyfire and Opera Mobile 9.5 mobile browsers already supporting Flash Lite, and Microsoft's own competing Silverlight not expected to go mobile until the end of the year, it can't be long now can it?

Yep, once again Microsoft only improves their browser because it might lose competition.

I am confused...wasn't Adobe Reader LE already installed on all WM6 devices? If not, where the hell did I get it and why didn't I have to pay for it?
