Define thorough.  If it's like most Microsoft documentation,
it means lots of words in lots of files, but it does not mean
something one can actually get any assistance from.

Apple's online help is just as useful as Microsoft's.  But
at least they don't try to hide the fact by making it LOOK
like an encyclopedia.

(I am not trying to claim that Ada has anything better!)
