Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell cmdlets) are referenced without Linux alternatives. Some examples and workarounds are provided only for Windows environments, such as mounting NFS shares from Windows, using Windows VM Guest Agent commands, and troubleshooting via PowerShell. In several cases, Linux equivalents or instructions are missing or mentioned only after Windows steps. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users attempting to follow the documentation.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync/cp instead of robocopy, show Linux mount commands for NFS).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash/CLI examples side by side for device management and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM Guest Agents and extensions include Linux VM scenarios.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools (Explorer, robocopy) exclusively; mention cross-platform alternatives.
  • When giving examples, alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux instructions, rather than presenting Windows first or only.
