Summary
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific examples (PowerShell, CLI) are provided before or in greater detail than Linux equivalents. PowerShell examples are given for Windows VMs but not for Linux VMs, and CLI examples for Windows VMs are more detailed. Windows registry keys and Windows Update service requirements are described explicitly, while Linux equivalents (such as disabling automatic updates) are less thoroughly explained. The 'Next steps' section links only to Windows VM management, omitting Linux VM guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure PowerShell examples for Linux VMs where applicable, or clarify PowerShell usage for Linux.
- Ensure CLI examples for Linux VMs are as detailed as those for Windows VMs, including update and patching scenarios.
- Mention Linux-specific tools and configuration patterns (e.g., apt, yum, zypper, systemctl) with equal prominence to Windows tools (e.g., registry keys, Windows Update).
- Add a 'Next steps' link for Linux VM management, mirroring the Windows VM link.
- Where requirements or behaviors differ (e.g., disabling automatic updates), provide step-by-step instructions for both Linux and Windows, not just Windows.
- Present OS-specific information in parallel sections, or alternate the order between Windows and Linux to avoid implicit prioritization.
