Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-based examples and agent images ('windows-latest') are presented first for .NET and PowerShell, and the default deployment type is Windows. PowerShell is included as a first-class language, and Windows-specific instructions (such as deployment slots and agent pools) are often given before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. While Linux examples are present and parity is generally good for JavaScript, Python, and Java, the overall structure and defaults favor Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side or alternate which is shown first, especially for .NET and deployment sections.
- Clarify when Windows or Linux is required for each language, and provide explicit guidance for cross-platform scenarios.
- Add more context for PowerShell, noting its cross-platform capabilities, and include Bash or other shell examples where appropriate.
- Highlight Linux as an equal default where possible, especially in introductory sections and YAML pipeline templates.
- Ensure that all features (such as deployment slots and agent pools) are explained for both Windows and Linux, noting any limitations clearly.
