Yeah, I've noticed that as well. The JavaDocs are excellent; and while I wouldn't say the MSDN is unusable, it is far more difficult to use.
Speaking of getting help on .NET, I've noticed something else. How-to articles or blogs about .NET rarely include the "Using" statements needed to actually run the code snippets that are in the article. Which means that searching for how to do something usually involves at least two searches. One to find the code snippet, and one to find out which namespaces the classes are in.
