Summary
The documentation exhibits minor Windows bias by instructing users to 'Launch Notepad' to create the input file, which is a Windows-specific application, and by referencing 'terminal or command prompt with administrator privileges' without clarifying Linux/macOS equivalents. There are no explicit Linux/macOS instructions or examples for these steps, and the use of Azure Storage Explorer (a cross-platform tool) is mentioned neutrally. No PowerShell or Windows-only tools are required, and the Python code itself is cross-platform.
Recommendations
  • Replace 'Launch Notepad' with 'Use a text editor (such as Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or nano/vim on Linux) to create input.txt.'
  • Clarify that 'terminal or command prompt' means Command Prompt/PowerShell on Windows, Terminal on macOS/Linux.
  • Explicitly state that all Python code and Azure SDK instructions work on Linux and macOS as well as Windows.
  • Add a note confirming Azure Storage Explorer is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Where administrator privileges are mentioned, clarify if/when they are required on Linux/macOS (e.g., use 'sudo' if needed).
