Note to Apple: Document it!

MacFixIt notes the release of Boot Camp Beta 1.0.2:

Unfortunately, Apple has provided no documentation regarding enhancements in this release. The disk image download itself has a modification date of July 10th (yesterday) at 9:17 AM, but the files therein -- including BootCampAssistant.pkg, the installer for the Boot Camp Assistant -- carries a modification date of June 19th.

As I mentioned yesterday, Apple often fails to document its releases properly. I have absolutely no idea why it does this: presumably, it documents these changes internally (at least I hope it does). I can think of no possible reason to not release full documentation on changes for its applications and systems.

Documentation makes the lives of network administrators and those who support Macs much easier. Just Do It, Apple!
