Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools, paths, and behaviors are often mentioned before or instead of their Linux equivalents. Many examples and explanations use Windows conventions (such as D:\home, .bat files, and Windows process names like w3wp.exe) without always providing Linux alternatives. Some settings are described only in the context of Windows tools or workflows (e.g., MSDeploy, Web Deploy, IIS, applicationHost.config), and Linux-specific guidance is sometimes missing or less detailed.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows-specific example (such as file paths like D:\home or %HOME%), provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., /home or $HOME) alongside.
- When referencing Windows tools (e.g., MSDeploy, Web Deploy, IIS), also mention or link to Linux deployment methods and tools (such as Oryx, Kudu for Linux, or CLI-based deployments).
- Avoid using Windows process names (like w3wp.exe) or configuration files (like applicationHost.config) without clarifying their Linux/container equivalents or stating that they are not applicable.
- Ensure that all environment variable descriptions specify applicability to both Windows and Linux, or clearly state when a variable is platform-specific.
- Add Linux/POSIX shell command examples where PowerShell or Windows batch examples are given.
- Review and expand sections where Linux behaviors or settings are only briefly mentioned or omitted, ensuring Linux users have parity in guidance and troubleshooting steps.
