Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell commands) are referenced without Linux equivalents, and Windows workflows (such as RDP, Windows services, and Windows VM Guest Agent) are described in detail. In some cases, only Windows command-line examples are provided (e.g., mounting NFS shares with Windows syntax), while Linux alternatives are missing or mentioned only briefly. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may need to adapt or research their own solutions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync or cp instead of robocopy, show Linux mount syntax for NFS shares).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash examples side-by-side for device management and VM operations.
  • Reference cross-platform utilities (e.g., AzCopy, sqlcmd) with installation and usage instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly call out differences in workflows for Windows and Linux environments, especially for VM management and troubleshooting.
  • Avoid presenting Windows examples first or exclusively; ensure parity in documentation structure.
