Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux, providing instructions and examples for both platforms. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: Windows is consistently mentioned before Linux in lists, examples, and extension names (e.g., 'Azure Migrate Collector for Windows' is listed before '...for Linux'). The endpoint for network connectivity uses a Windows-branded domain ('migration.windowsazure.com'). In step-by-step instructions and policy creation, the Windows example or policy is presented before the Linux equivalent, reinforcing a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions/examples throughout the documentation to avoid consistently prioritizing Windows.
  • Use neutral or platform-agnostic phrasing when listing extension names or steps (e.g., 'Azure Migrate Collector for Windows or Linux').
  • If possible, clarify that the endpoint domain ('migration.windowsazure.com') is not Windows-specific and is used for both platforms.
  • Ensure that any screenshots, code blocks, or UI references are equally balanced between Windows and Linux.
  • Consider providing a combined example or table for both platforms where appropriate, rather than separate sections.
  • Explicitly state that all features and steps apply equally to both Windows and Linux, unless there are platform-specific limitations.
