VisualStudio 2008 Help vs. VisualStudio 2010 Help

[John H.]

Is it me, or does the help system in VisualStudio 2010 seem to be
greatly lacking in comparison to the VS 2008 Help System. I usually
pull up the 2008 help browser while I am working in VS2010.

There seems to be less content and fewer examples in the 2010 help.
The content also does not seem to be cross indexed as well.
Originally I just assumed that this was a function of Microsoft
rushing out VS2010 and that the help system would improve with
updates, but that does not seem to have happened.

I love Visual Studio in general. I hate to see product take a step
backward. Is it just me, or are other users having the same
experience with the VS 2010 help?

I have the same experience.

I really hope they either return to the previous way of doing things or sharpen up the current.

I frequently seek help elsewhere, since i find the new system difficult to navigate (lack of proper indexing) and examples are
fewer. Besides that, it often seems to me, that the basic lookup refers til FW1 & FW2 and not 3, 3.5 or 4. You can change it in the
top, but like i said. I frequently find myself surfing google or here to find my answers, rather than using the onboard help
system...

Sad... Really sad...
