Haha, I think it'd be more useful for stealth pdf files. Nothing irritates me more than when I'm browsing a site, click on a link I think is just a normal link and bam the browser dies for 30 seconds while it's loading Adobe Craprobat..with another PDF viewer (like Foxit) it's better, but it's still annoying :)
