Support is still there for 10.x and 9.x versions on vista. For 11, you will have to upgrade from Vista to Win 7 or Win 8.

It simple doesn't makes sense ... if it supports XP and 7 it must definately support Vista....

It also supports Server 2008, so why no Vista

It isn't about whether it works, it's about whether Adobe support it, and to do that they need to spend time testing. Vista is dead, they didn't bother.

Installing Adobe reader XI on windows vista is not a problem - if you have got the whole program, and not just the link or the installation-program, which does not install the reader xi on windows vista.

The full program is available here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

- Just take the version for WIndows 7, not for Vista -

There is no version "adobe reader xi for vista". If you want to use the reader 11 on windows vista, you have to take the version for windows 7 or xp. (These versions are the same anyway, if I did not get it wrong.)

I encourage Adobe to reconsider their stance on supporting Adobe Reader XI on Vista in enterprise and home environments for no other reason than the good will it would generate from Vista users.

I suspect that there are few that will upgrade an OS just to get Adobe Reader.

I fully agree with you!

Vista is an unsupported platform for Reader/Acrobat11.

You should be able to get Reader 10.1.4 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ page. Which language are you on? Try checking for latest updates from Reader 10.1.
