And let's not forget about TeXworks. So at least on Windows we already
provide not one but two capable pdf viewers.

I actually find TW superior to some other popular free alternatives
like AR, PDF-Xchange (no file locking), Foxit (auto-refresh on
change), SumatraPDF (better compatibility), GSView (bookmarks and just
looks better :)
