You are wrong.

Besides:  I was even not aware about possibility to report bugs to Adobe, 
before you posted that link.
Sorry but I do not trust to the company who manages its communication with 
customers in such a bad way. 
And IMHO there is no point to communicate with the company you do not trust 
too.

see (a) first.
I used $50 (b) as an example *what* can help Adobe to collect valuable bug 
reports.
Frankly, I am not interested in such money, as I earn much, much more.

They gave me nothing.

You have very strange perception for word "using"  :-)
When you see advertising banner on some web site - do you use that banner, or 
products from the company who own banner?
No.
Adobe's SVG Viewer is advertising banner for other Adobe products 
(Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc.), that's it.
I have tried it ("clicked" on it), and I don't like it. That's it.  I owe 
nothing to Adobe.

Returning back to SVG specs and Adobe plugin:
* it is very heavy ( a lot of disk space, high memory usage)
* it's slow
* periodically it locks computer
I think it's really anti-SVG product.

SVG designed to be loaded fast, and reduce bandwidth usage.
Using SVG on web page, with some browser & Adobe SVG plugin, results in 
*increased loading time* and *unstable behavior of the system*.

|  SVG is platform & OS independent.

This is simply not true.
Each platform should have SVG renderer.
And as you have noticied before, most of existing renderers available for 
selected platform only.

Like: ASV is avilable for Windows and Mac.
Batik requires Java, together with JRE.

Besides: I think you missed smiley (:-) in my mail...
