Summary
The documentation exhibits Windows bias primarily in its handling of time zone names and date/time formatting. Time zone parameters for functions such as convertFromUtc, convertTimeZone, and convertToUtc reference 'Microsoft Windows Default Time Zones' and link to Windows-specific documentation, with no mention of IANA/Olson time zones commonly used on Linux. Date/time format strings and locale codes are described in terms of .NET and Windows conventions, with examples and links focused on Windows/.NET standards. There are no references to Linux tools, standards, or cross-platform alternatives for time zones or formatting.
Recommendations
- Add support and documentation for IANA/Olson time zone names, which are standard on Linux and many cross-platform environments.
- Include examples using IANA time zone identifiers (e.g., 'America/New_York', 'Europe/London') alongside Windows time zone names.
- Clarify whether the functions accept only Windows time zone names or also IANA names, and document any conversion or mapping required.
- Reference cross-platform standards (such as Unicode CLDR for locales and IANA for time zones) in addition to Windows/.NET documentation.
- If only Windows time zones are supported, explicitly state this limitation and provide guidance for Linux users on how to map IANA time zones to Windows equivalents.
- Consider adding a table or link to resources that help users convert between Windows and IANA time zone names.
