Summary
The documentation provides parity between Windows and Linux in terms of instructions and examples for enabling additional data collection on Arc-enabled servers. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: Windows is consistently mentioned first in extension names, CLI examples, and policy definitions. The extension naming convention ('AzureMigrateCollectorForWindows' and 'AzureMigrateCollectorForLinux') and the order of presentation (Windows before Linux in several places) may reinforce a perception of Windows as the primary or default platform. Additionally, the endpoint URL uses 'migration.windowsazure.com', which is Windows-centric, though this is an Azure branding artifact rather than a technical limitation.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions/examples to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux are fully supported and treated equally.
- Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'AzureMigrateCollector extension for Windows or Linux') rather than always listing Windows first.
- Consider providing a summary table at the top showing parity of features and steps for both platforms.
- If possible, clarify that the endpoint naming ('windowsazure.com') is historical and does not imply Windows-only support.
