Summary:
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias, particularly in the .NET/ASP.NET section, where Windows tools such as Visual Studio and Azure PowerShell are listed before cross-platform or Linux-native tools. Some sections (notably .NET) mention Windows-specific tools without equal prominence for Linux alternatives. The 'Next step' callout also defaults to an ASP.NET example, which is typically associated with Windows. In contrast, other stacks (Java, Node.js, PHP) emphasize Linux or cross-platform workflows, but the Python section's quickstart links default to 'windows' tabs, and Linux/WSL/Unix-specific instructions are not always given equal visibility.
Recommendations:
- For .NET/ASP.NET, ensure Linux and cross-platform tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code, CLI, Azure CLI) are listed before or alongside Windows-specific tools like Visual Studio and Azure PowerShell.
- Provide explicit Linux/Unix/WSL examples and instructions wherever Windows or PowerShell commands are given, especially in quickstarts and deployment guides.
- In the Python section, ensure quickstart links and tabs default to a neutral or Linux-first experience, or provide parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux.
- Balance the 'Next step' callout by offering options for multiple stacks or explicitly including a Linux-based example.
- Wherever Windows tools or patterns are mentioned, ensure their Linux equivalents are also referenced and easily discoverable.
