Summary: Hard Copy of Online Help
Comment: Hey, if you prefer Hard copy (which I do) over scrolling back and forth in On-line help, this is for you (and me). However, was hoping for more examples.

Summary: Complete waste of money-no better than the online docs
Comment: I purchased this rather expensive set of texts after reading some "reviews", expecting to see an improvement over the dismal online documentation. For all those who have great expectations, forget it. These books are a complete waste of money. They contain the exact information already available in the .Net Framework SDK, and provide ZERO additional useful information. You'd be better off to save the money for the eventual calls you'll need to make to Microsoft to get some real answers. I am not wowed by a lot of pages. It's the information (or lack thereof) that matters.

Summary: Give Me a Break
Comment: My guess is that most of us who actually don't have the time or liesure to thumb through thousands and thousands of pages looking for that killer class library will continue to sweat it out with MSDN. My question for Microsoft is this:

How many people did it take to put the FCL together and to document it? my guess--a few hundred

AND

What's the average amount of developers in any IT shop these days? my guess-- 3 to 5

Please, Microsoft, tell me how you think that people are really going to be able to tap the power of the bizzillions of classes without wasting their ever-shortening production time?
