Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, requiring a Windows workstation and Microsoft Excel for Power Query. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, and all tooling (Excel, Power Query) is Windows-centric. The prerequisites and steps assume Windows-only usage, with no mention of alternatives for other platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as alternative BI tools (e.g., LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or web-based solutions) that can connect to HDInsight.
  • Include steps for accessing HDInsight data from non-Windows platforms, possibly using Python, R, or other cross-platform tools.
  • Clarify platform limitations in the prerequisites and suggest workarounds or alternatives for non-Windows users.
  • Provide parity by including Linux/macOS-specific instructions or links to relevant documentation.
