Yes, that's another problem. Old articles are just removed. we don't
know if they are
removed because they no longer apply, or because some dimwit decided they
were just
superfluous. I've got code I no longer understand that has specific
citations to KB
articles, but the articles are gone. There is apparently no adult
supervision of the
documentation people, either.
The documentation lobotimization also started with the infamous "See your
site
administrator..." types of phrases. I AM MY SITE ADMINISTRATOR AND I NEED
TO FIND OUT THE
ANSWER!!!! My 88-year-old mother doesn't HAVE a "site administrator" and
wouldn't have a
clue what this means! I'm not sure who their audience is, but it isn't
the advanced users
like us, and it isn't the naive users, so who is it?

Have you seen Longhorn (Windows 2008) help (I guess Vista is similar)? It
fell victim to a lobotomization trend in MS documentation. Today I've
tried
to find help about cdm.exe and the list of command line programs in
Longhorn. That was quite simple in XP. In Win2008, I see a big list of
lame
"how I do every little simple task" links, but not what I was looking
about.
