Summary
The documentation displays several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Windows file paths) are mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. Some instructions and troubleshooting steps are detailed for Windows (e.g., PowerShell scripts, allow-listing www.microsoft.com for script signature validation, Windows VM Agent troubleshooting), while Linux alternatives are less emphasized or missing. Examples and commands sometimes appear for Windows only or are described for Windows first, and Linux instructions are less detailed or omitted.
Recommendations
  • Ensure all instructions and examples are provided for both Windows and Linux platforms, with equal detail and clarity.
  • Present Linux and Windows options side-by-side, or alternate which is presented first, to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., provide Bash/CLI examples where PowerShell is mentioned).
  • Expand troubleshooting sections to include Linux-specific guidance wherever Windows guidance is given.
  • Review and update file paths, command syntax, and tool references to ensure Linux parity.
  • Explicitly state support and parity for both platforms in introductory and prerequisite sections.
