Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias in several areas: Windows troubleshooting steps and tools (such as Services console, COM+, VSS, Internet Explorer) are mentioned first or exclusively, while Linux equivalents are often less detailed or missing. Windows-specific patterns (e.g., update management, service management) are described before or instead of Linux approaches. Some sections lack Linux examples or troubleshooting steps, and Windows tools are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux troubleshooting steps are provided wherever Windows steps are given (e.g., for COM+/VSS errors, include Linux service troubleshooting or clarify if not applicable).
  • Present Windows and Linux guidance in parallel, not sequentially or with Windows first; use tabs or side-by-side formatting.
  • Where Windows tools (e.g., Services console, Internet Explorer) are referenced, provide Linux alternatives (e.g., systemctl, checking proxy settings via environment variables).
  • Include Linux-specific error codes and troubleshooting where relevant, not just Windows-centric issues.
  • Clarify when an issue or workaround is Windows-only, and provide explicit statements about Linux applicability.
  • Expand Linux examples to match the detail and step-by-step guidance given for Windows, especially in certificate and proxy configuration sections.
