Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias by prominently featuring WCF Relay, which is a Windows/.NET Framework-specific technology, and listing its quick starts and samples alongside more cross-platform Hybrid Connections. WCF Relay is described as a legacy but still supported feature, and its usage is tied to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), which is not available on Linux/macOS. However, the page also provides parity for Hybrid Connections, with examples for .NET Core, Node.js, and Java, supporting cross-platform scenarios. Windows-specific tools and patterns (WCF) are mentioned first and in detail, but Linux/macOS users can fully utilize Hybrid Connections.
Recommendations
- Clearly indicate that WCF Relay is Windows/.NET Framework-specific and not supported on Linux/macOS.
- Present Hybrid Connections as the default or recommended cross-platform solution, listing its quick starts and samples before WCF Relay.
- Add explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users, including links to platform-specific setup or troubleshooting guides.
- Consider separating legacy Windows-only features (WCF Relay) into a distinct section to avoid confusion for cross-platform users.
