Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, requiring a Windows workstation and Microsoft Excel with Power Query, both of which are Windows-centric tools. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor alternative BI tools or workflows that could be used on non-Windows platforms. The prerequisites and instructions assume the reader is using Windows, and all tooling mentioned is Microsoft/Windows-specific.
Recommendations
- Provide alternative instructions for Linux and macOS users, such as using LibreOffice Calc, Apache Zeppelin, or other cross-platform BI tools.
- Include examples of connecting to HDInsight from non-Windows platforms, possibly using Python, R, or web-based tools.
- Clarify that Power Query for Excel is only available on Windows, and suggest equivalent open-source or cross-platform solutions for other operating systems.
- Reorganize prerequisites and examples to mention Linux/macOS options where possible, or explicitly state platform limitations.
- Add links to documentation for cross-platform data analysis tools that can connect to HDInsight clusters.
