Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows download links are consistently listed before Linux, and Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, MSI installer, Windows Event Logs, Windows cert store) are frequently mentioned and upgraded. PowerShell updates are highlighted as major features, and Windows-specific enhancements (GUI installer, event logs, WMI, Win32 API, Windows Admin Center) are called out in multiple releases. While Linux improvements and distribution support are present, Windows tooling and terminology often appear first or exclusively, and some features (e.g., GUI installer, cert store integration) are only described for Windows.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux download links or present them together to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Ensure Linux equivalents are mentioned for all Windows-specific features (e.g., describe Linux logging mechanisms alongside Windows Event Logs).
- Highlight major Linux toolchain updates (e.g., bash, systemd, journald) with the same prominence as PowerShell upgrades.
- Provide parity in CLI and scripting examples for both platforms, including shell and package manager commands for Linux.
- Document Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and GUI tools (where available) to match Windows coverage.
- Where Windows-only features are described (e.g., cert store integration), clarify Linux alternatives or explicitly state platform limitations.
