Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP, waappagent.exe) are mentioned without Linux equivalents or alternatives. Examples and workarounds often reference Windows environments first or exclusively, such as mounting NFS shares from Windows, using Windows PowerShell for device management, and troubleshooting Windows VM Guest Agent issues. Linux-specific instructions are either missing or less prominent, and some cross-platform tools (like AzCopy) are mentioned without clarifying usage on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux commands and tools alongside Windows examples (e.g., use rsync or cp for file copying instead of only robocopy/Explorer).
  • Include Linux shell (bash) examples for device management and troubleshooting, not just PowerShell.
  • Clarify usage of cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy) on Linux, including installation and command syntax.
  • When describing NFS mounting, give Linux mount command examples in addition to Windows.
  • For VM guest agent troubleshooting, offer guidance for Linux VMs if applicable.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools or patterns exclusively or before Linux equivalents; present both in parallel where possible.
