.NET documentation is incredible, not just for the language but also the APIs. It's such a joy to work with and even complex concepts seem to be explained very thoroughly.
It gets a bit uglier once you cross into WINAPI, COM, etc., but Apple's is still not even close to being a match.

I feel like .NET documentation has significantly improved. It wasn't that long ago when I had no idea how to find the documentation from the MSDN home page and had to rely on search engines, but outside I agree. Microsoft's documentation gets a bit rough. Most recently, I found the NDIS documentation unbearable, with broken links and links to 5.x versions. Additionally, I was trying to find the documentation on OLE, and google kept leading me to MFC specific stuff, which was not what I was looking for.
Some of the older stuff seems to be getting worse. I was searching for information on Active Scripting and it appeared that documents I had used in the past had disappeared. I know nobody is implementing this from scratch but old code needs to be maintained.
