Summary
The documentation page demonstrates several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., sqlcmd, robocopy, Explorer, Internet Explorer, waappagent.exe, Windows VM Guest Agent) and PowerShell commands are referenced, sometimes exclusively or before Linux alternatives. Some examples and workarounds are given only for Windows environments (e.g., mounting NFS shares from Windows, troubleshooting Windows VM Guest Agent issues), while Linux equivalents are missing or less detailed. In some cases, remediation steps are provided for Windows VMs but not for Linux VMs, and Windows terminology is used first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux examples and commands wherever Windows tools or PowerShell commands are referenced (e.g., show how to mount NFS shares from Linux, use Linux CLI tools for SQL access).
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs alongside Windows VM instructions (e.g., for custom script extension issues, VM agent problems).
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp) alongside Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer for file operations.
  • Avoid using Windows terminology first or exclusively; present both Windows and Linux options in parallel.
  • Ensure parity in documentation for both OS environments, especially in workarounds and step-by-step guides.
