Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily in the troubleshooting section for SocketException, where only a PowerShell example (nslookup) is provided, and the output is shown in a Windows-centric format. There is no mention of equivalent Linux commands (e.g., dig, nslookup on Linux, host), nor is there guidance for users on non-Windows platforms. Additionally, the use of Windows-style paths (PS C:\>) and terminology further reinforces the Windows-first approach. No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are presented, which may hinder users working in Linux or macOS environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS command-line examples (e.g., 'nslookup', 'dig', or 'host') alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Show sample outputs for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments to help users recognize expected results.
  • Avoid using only Windows paths or prompts (e.g., 'PS C:\>'); instead, use generic or platform-neutral prompts, or show both.
  • Explicitly mention that troubleshooting steps apply to all platforms, and clarify any platform-specific differences.
  • Audit other examples and troubleshooting steps to ensure Linux parity throughout the documentation.
