I can remember being totally frustrated at the lack of one when the occasion arose and one was required, but you become conditioned to an environment to the degree that even when there is a manual available, you don't read it because you assume that it doesn't exist.

Nah, there's technet. Though, Microsoft started making books they sent with their software crappy starting at dos 6 (6.22 book sucked) and then they made the windows help damn near useless. If you talk to a normal mac user, they'll tell you how useful spotlight is for finding help.
So the point is, the info is there, Microsoft just started breeding incompetence into their culture 15+ years ago.
