Summary
The documentation displays Windows bias in several ways: Windows troubleshooting steps and tools (such as Services console, COM+, VSS, Internet Explorer) are described in detail, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. Windows-specific patterns (like referencing Internet Explorer for proxy autodetection) are mentioned without Linux alternatives. Some troubleshooting sections provide only Windows examples or tools, while Linux guidance is less detailed or missing. In some cases, Linux instructions are present but less comprehensive or appear after Windows instructions.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux troubleshooting steps are provided with equal detail and prominence as Windows steps.
  • Include Linux-specific tools and commands (e.g., systemctl for service management, alternatives to Internet Explorer for proxy detection) where Windows tools are referenced.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like Internet Explorer) without Linux alternatives; clarify how Linux users can perform equivalent actions.
  • Where possible, provide explicit Linux examples for all troubleshooting scenarios, not just for certificate management or disk encryption.
  • Review for any missing Linux error codes or scenarios and add them for parity.
