msdn2 csharp docs are useless (no syntax/grammar)

Here is an example

1) C# Programmer's Reference
Old:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...eClassType.asp
New: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0b0thckt.aspx

The old reference actually gives the syntax.
The new one doesn't

2) C# Language Specification
Old:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...pspec_10_1.asp
New: two different Word files

On top of the good Programmer's Reference the old Language Specification
is part of the index and gives even more detail. In the new help there is
no language specification, you have to open two Word files.

So the bottom line is in the new help you can't lookup proper C# syntax.
This is insane.

At the bottom of the link for the new content, you will notice a textbox
with the following caption:

How would you rate the usefulness of this content?

I suggest you use it, and detail to them the issues you have with it.

MSDN2 is a work in progress. It's best to keep that in mind when using it.

Are you saying that Visual Studio RTMed with beta docs? I think not.
Instead of making excuses for insanity maybe you can enlighten us on what
you do when you need to look up some C# syntax. Go hunting for those
multiple Word documents? This is not an oversight, it's dementia.
