Summary
The documentation exclusively references the 'Microsoft Azure Import/Export Tool' as a Windows executable (WAImportExport.exe), with all command-line examples using Windows paths and conventions (e.g., C:\, G:\). There are no Linux or cross-platform usage instructions, nor any mention of Linux-compatible alternatives or usage patterns. The documentation refers to the service as 'Windows Azure Import/Export' in several places, reinforcing a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the Import/Export Tool is available for Linux or provide information about Linux alternatives if available.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., using /mnt/exportdrive, forward slashes, and Linux shell syntax) if the tool is cross-platform.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations at the beginning of the documentation.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, suggest workarounds for Linux users (such as using a Windows VM or container) and provide links to relevant resources.
  • Avoid using 'Windows Azure' as a service name unless historically necessary; use 'Microsoft Azure' for consistency.
