Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft tools (Microsoft Rules Composer, BizTalk Server) that are only available on Windows, and by providing instructions and screenshots that implicitly assume a Windows environment (e.g., use of backslashes in paths, .NET Framework targeting net472, and Windows-style terminal commands). There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor are cross-platform alternatives mentioned for key steps such as rule authoring, exporting, or debugging. The prerequisites and workflow are centered around Windows-only tooling, with no mention of Linux compatibility or equivalent open-source tools.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the start of the documentation, clarifying if Windows is required for any steps.
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives for all steps, especially for rule authoring and exporting (e.g., suggest cross-platform editors, .NET Core/6+ targeting, or open-source rule engines if available).
- Include terminal commands and file path examples using both Windows and Linux/macOS conventions (e.g., use forward slashes, show bash/zsh commands).
- Mention whether Microsoft Rules Composer and BizTalk Server steps can be skipped or replaced for non-Windows users, or provide guidance for those scenarios.
- Add screenshots and instructions for Visual Studio Code usage on Linux/macOS, and clarify any differences in workflow or debugging.
- If certain features are Windows-only, suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users, or provide links to relevant resources.
