Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows troubleshooting steps and tools (such as COM+, VSS, Services console, Internet Explorer proxy detection) are described in detail, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. Some sections (e.g., COM+ or VSS errors) only provide Windows-specific instructions, omitting Linux guidance. Proxy troubleshooting mentions autodetection from Internet Explorer for Windows, while Linux instructions are less detailed. Windows update and certificate management processes are described with references to Windows documentation, while Linux guidance is more generic or less comprehensive.
Recommendations
- For every Windows-specific troubleshooting step, provide equivalent Linux instructions or clarify when an issue is Windows-only.
- Include Linux-specific tools and commands for troubleshooting (e.g., systemd service management for VSS-like functionality, alternatives to COM+).
- When referencing Windows tools (e.g., Services console, Internet Explorer), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., systemctl, environment variables, browser options).
- Ensure examples and instructions for both platforms are equally detailed and placed side-by-side, rather than Windows-first.
- Add links to Linux documentation and resources where Windows links are provided.
- Explicitly state when an error or workaround applies only to Windows or only to Linux.
