You know what? My experience is just the opposite. Commercial software
(at lest for Windows and OS X end user applications) often comes with
*no* documentation whatsoever. The few exceptions I've encountered
seldom installed it - if you wanted to look at it, you had to get the
distribution media and copy it by hand.

Instead, you get online help. While the latter is valuable, it's not a
substitute for good documentation.
