Summary
The documentation generally provides guidance for both Windows and Linux, but several sections display Windows bias. In the 'Trusted root certificates' section, Windows instructions are presented first and are more detailed, referencing Windows-specific update processes and tools. Linux instructions are present but less detailed and rely on distributor guidance, with some explicit steps only for SUSE/RedHat. In the 'COM+ or VSS' section, only Windows services and tools are mentioned, with no Linux equivalent or clarification that the issue is Windows-only. Proxy troubleshooting mentions autodetection via Internet Explorer (Windows) before Linux's /etc/environment, and the file paths for configuration are listed for both OSes, but Windows is mentioned first. Some sections lack Linux-specific troubleshooting or examples, especially for service-related errors.
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, or clearly label OS-specific sections.
  • Provide Linux troubleshooting steps or clarify when an issue is Windows-only (e.g., COM+/VSS).
  • Include Linux-first or at least balanced examples and tool references.
  • Expand Linux guidance beyond distributor references, offering concrete steps for common distributions.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools (e.g., Internet Explorer) without Linux equivalents or alternatives.
  • Ensure parity in detail and clarity between Windows and Linux instructions.
