Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. While it mentions support for both Windows and Linux VMs, it consistently references Windows first (e.g., 'Prepare a generalized image from a Windows VHD' is linked, but no equivalent Linux VHD preparation guide is provided). There is also a lack of explicit Linux-focused examples or walkthroughs, especially for VHD preparation and password requirements, which link to Windows documentation. The connection instructions for Linux and Windows VMs are separated, but the Linux section is just an include, potentially hiding details.
Recommendations
  • Add a direct link or section for preparing a generalized Linux VHD image, similar to the Windows VHD preparation guide.
  • Ensure password complexity requirements reference both Windows and Linux documentation, or clarify if requirements differ.
  • Provide explicit Linux VM deployment examples, including screenshots or step-by-step instructions, not just generic references.
  • Review included connection instructions for Linux VMs to ensure parity in detail and troubleshooting guidance compared to Windows.
  • When listing OS options or instructions, alternate the order or present both equally to avoid 'Windows first' bias.
