Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias primarily through the use and mention of Windows-centric tools and patterns. The Storage Emulator, referenced for local development, is a Windows-only tool, and instructions for clearing storage data assume its use. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, PowerShell is mentioned as an alternative for resource creation, but no Bash or Linux-specific alternatives are highlighted. There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples for local development, nor is there guidance for using Linux-native storage emulators (such as Azurite in Docker or npm). The order of tool presentation and the lack of Linux-specific troubleshooting or parity guidance further reinforce a Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
  • Replace or supplement references to the Windows-only Storage Emulator with instructions for using Azurite on Linux/macOS (via npm or Docker).
  • Provide explicit examples for local development on Linux/macOS, including how to install and run Azurite.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, also provide Bash or shell script equivalents, or clarify that Azure CLI commands work cross-platform.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., file permissions, port conflicts with Azurite).
  • Reorder tool mentions so that cross-platform options (Azure CLI, Azurite) are presented before Windows-specific tools.
  • Review all screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they are not Windows-centric, or add notes for Linux/macOS users where UI differs.
