Summary
The documentation exhibits several signs of Windows bias. In many sections, Windows-specific instructions, tools, and examples (such as using the Azure portal, referencing Windows file paths, and requiring Microsoft ODBC drivers) are presented either exclusively or before their Linux equivalents. Some deployment and troubleshooting steps focus on Windows environments (e.g., SQL Server, NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, C:\ paths) with limited or no Linux alternatives. In certain cases, Linux instructions are present but less detailed or appear after Windows instructions, and some troubleshooting steps only reference Windows-specific errors.
Recommendations
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows examples are presented in parallel, with equal detail and prominence.
  • Where Windows-specific tools or patterns are referenced (e.g., ODBC driver, Visual C++ Redistributable), provide Linux equivalents or clarify when they are not needed.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and error messages where only Windows errors are currently documented.
  • Avoid presenting Windows instructions first by default; alternate or group by platform.
  • Expand Linux deployment examples, especially for database and application server scenarios, to match the depth of Windows coverage.
  • Clearly indicate platform-specific requirements and steps, and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
