Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools and workflows first. For example, it instructs users to 'Launch Notepad' to create a text file, which is a Windows-specific application, and mentions 'command prompt with administrator privileges' before 'terminal', implying a Windows-first approach. The optional tool Azure Storage Explorer is cross-platform, but no Linux-specific alternatives or instructions (such as using nano, vim, or touch for file creation, or specifying Linux terminal commands) are provided. There are no explicit PowerShell or Windows-only tools, but the examples and instructions assume a Windows environment and omit Linux/macOS equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for creating files using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., 'Use nano, vim, or touch to create input.txt').
  • Clarify that 'terminal or command prompt' can refer to Bash, Zsh, or other shells on Linux/macOS, and that administrator privileges may not be required or are achieved differently.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS command examples where relevant, such as using 'echo' or text editors to create files.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, ensuring parity in setup and troubleshooting steps.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific applications (like Notepad) without offering cross-platform alternatives.
