Summary
The documentation page exhibits a mild Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., cmd.exe, drive letters, backslash paths) are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. Examples for environment variable expansion and retrieval are given for both Windows and Linux, but Windows is consistently listed first. Some environment variable naming conventions and directory structures are described in detail for Windows, with Linux equivalents sometimes mentioned as an aside or in parentheses. The use of Windows-specific terminology (e.g., drive letters, backslashes) is more prominent than Linux equivalents, and some examples (such as path postfixes) use Windows-style formatting without parallel Linux examples.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples throughout the documentation to avoid consistently prioritizing Windows.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for all environment variable usages, including path formats and directory structures (e.g., show both /mnt/... and C:\... formats where relevant).
- Explicitly mention Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific terminology (e.g., drive letters vs. mount points, backslashes vs. forward slashes).
- Ensure that environment variable naming conventions and examples are given equal detail for both platforms, including casing and separator differences.
- Consider adding a summary table or section that clearly contrasts Windows and Linux behaviors, tools, and conventions for Azure Batch environment variables.
