Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, waappagent.exe, WindowsAzureGuest.exe) and PowerShell commands are mentioned, sometimes exclusively or before Linux alternatives. Some workarounds and examples are provided only for Windows environments, with limited or no Linux equivalents. In certain cases, Windows-centric terminology and troubleshooting steps are detailed, while Linux instructions are absent or less prominent.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer for blob copying).
  • Include Linux-based troubleshooting steps and examples alongside Windows instructions (e.g., for VM guest agent issues, custom script extensions).
  • Use cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., show both PowerShell and Bash commands where relevant).
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns before or alongside Windows ones, ensuring parity in guidance.
  • Review all workarounds and ensure they are applicable to both Windows and Linux users, or clearly state platform limitations.
