I just happened to check out apple's manuals page. It was related to my searching for support in lion, as another mac I own when I log in to the app store it doesn't show lion in the purchases. One link led to another as I was trying to get support for the app store (I had clicked on support via the link on the app store page for lion) and I happened to be checking this page:
http://support.apple.com/manuals
Every apple os x ever released is there, even if for example the sl getting started manual is really rudimentary, everyone that is except lion.
I am sure I am going to get the usual apologists' replies here (although I will be once again amazed with the inventiveness of some of them
) but even a getting started guide, let alone a proper manual is something, you know a user, especially a novice one, might need. Right? Wrong. Apparently not for lion. Apparently every other os x released had someone spend an afternoon to write a few words, but not lion.
It's such inattention to detail for os x that has pissed off so many of us from the mac community.
Why even put a link on lion's page for a manual when you don't have any?
Why show in your main manuals page (see attached) a photo of lion in os manuals, when there isn't any manual for it in there?
(btw, like I said in another thread, I got back a mac I owned that I left in another flat for a while, and I am on snow leopard. And JC that's how an os is supposed to feel, after quite some time running another imac and a mini, and an air with lion I am back to having a responsive os. I saved the image I posted from grab and clicked on it for preview, and popit went, and I said Jesus did preview just open and showed the image in a milisecond? )
