Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific instructions and examples are frequently presented before Linux equivalents, and Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Windows-specific Azure CLI parameters) are emphasized. Some sections, especially those for Python, explicitly state that Windows is unsupported and redirect users to Linux, but Linux examples are sometimes less detailed or presented after Windows instructions. The use of PowerShell as a language option and the focus on Windows-specific configuration settings further reinforce the bias. However, Linux instructions are present and reasonably complete, so Linux/macOS users can still follow the documentation, albeit with some friction.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Ensure that Linux examples are as detailed and prominent as Windows examples.
  • Avoid Windows-centric terminology or tools unless absolutely necessary; provide cross-platform alternatives where possible.
  • Explicitly mention macOS support and provide examples or notes for macOS users.
  • Where a language or feature is Windows-only, provide clear guidance and alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
  • Review and balance the use of PowerShell and Windows-specific commands with Bash or other cross-platform shell examples.
