Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias primarily by recommending Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio) and patterns (e.g., 'Download Visual Studio 2019') as prerequisites, and by omitting explicit Linux/macOS alternatives or instructions for key development steps. While Azure Storage Explorer is cross-platform, the setup and workflow examples focus on Windows-centric development environments, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents for Visual Studio or command-line usage. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the overall workflow assumes a Windows-first audience.
Recommendations:
- In the prerequisites, provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as recommending VS Code or JetBrains Rider instead of only Visual Studio.
- Explicitly state that Azure Storage Explorer is cross-platform and provide installation links or instructions for Linux/macOS.
- For code samples, clarify that environment variables and SDKs work across platforms, and provide any necessary shell commands for Linux/macOS (e.g., setting environment variables in bash/zsh).
- Include a section or note on how to set up the development environment on Linux/macOS, including installation of required SDKs and tools.
- Avoid language that assumes the user is on Windows (e.g., 'Open Visual Studio'), or provide parallel instructions for other operating systems.
