Summary
The documentation demonstrates several types of Windows bias. Windows troubleshooting steps and tools (such as Services console, Internet Explorer, and Windows Update) are mentioned first or exclusively in multiple sections. Some error resolutions (e.g., COM+ or VSS errors) only provide Windows-specific instructions, with no Linux equivalent or explanation. Proxy autodetection references Internet Explorer for Windows, while Linux instructions are less detailed. Windows terminology and tools are often presented before or instead of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for errors (e.g., COM+/VSS) include Linux equivalents or explicitly state if not applicable.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, giving equal prominence to both platforms.
  • Replace or supplement Windows-specific tools (e.g., Services console, Internet Explorer) with Linux alternatives (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, relevant config files).
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for all error codes and scenarios, not just for certificate management.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools or patterns (e.g., Windows Update, IE proxy settings) without mentioning Linux equivalents.
  • Where an issue is Windows-only, clearly state its platform specificity.
