Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows-specific paths (e.g., D:\home), tools (e.g., msbuild, Web Deploy/MSDeploy), and environment variables are often mentioned before or instead of their Linux equivalents. Some examples and defaults are provided only for Windows (such as time zones and logging), and Windows-specific behaviors are described in more detail. Linux-specific information is sometimes present but often appears as an afterthought or is less detailed. There are also references to Windows tools and patterns (like applicationHost.config, w3wp.exe, and .bat files) without equivalent Linux guidance or examples.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows-specific example, provide a Linux equivalent (e.g., show both D:\home and /home paths).
- When referencing tools like msbuild or Web Deploy, mention Linux build/deployment tools (e.g., Oryx, Kudu for Linux) and provide parity in explanation.
- Avoid using Windows paths or environment variable syntax exclusively in examples; always show both Windows and Linux formats.
- When describing settings that behave differently on Windows and Linux, present both behaviors side by side, not with Windows first.
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting and operational guidance where only Windows details are currently given (e.g., for logging, crash monitoring, or startup behaviors).
- Review all variable descriptions for implicit Windows assumptions (such as references to .bat files, applicationHost.config, or w3wp.exe) and clarify or supplement with Linux/container equivalents.
- Ensure that links to further documentation or references are available for both Windows and Linux scenarios.
