Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows instructions and tools (such as registry edits, Storage Spaces, and File Explorer) are described in greater detail and often appear before Linux equivalents. Windows-specific troubleshooting steps (e.g., registry key changes) are more explicit, while Linux steps are less detailed or rely on generic commands. PowerShell is referenced in the 'Next steps' section before Azure CLI, and Windows terminology (e.g., 'Download Executable') is prioritized over Linux ('Download Script'). Some examples and screenshots are Windows-centric, and Linux instructions sometimes lack parity in depth and troubleshooting guidance.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux instructions are as detailed as Windows ones, especially for troubleshooting (e.g., provide more explicit steps for Linux disk mounting issues, permissions, and error handling).
  • Present Windows and Linux steps in parallel, or alternate which OS is described first in each section.
  • Include Linux-specific screenshots and examples where Windows screenshots are provided.
  • Reference Azure CLI and Linux tools before or alongside PowerShell and Windows tools in 'Next steps' and throughout the documentation.
  • Expand Linux troubleshooting guidance to match the registry-level detail given for Windows (e.g., more on iSCSI, LVM, RAID, and permissions).
  • Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'Download Executable') as the default; clarify both OS options equally.
