Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several workarounds and examples reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, PowerShell, RDP), and some instructions are provided only for Windows environments (e.g., VM guest agent troubleshooting, custom script extension setup). Linux equivalents are not mentioned, and Windows-centric patterns (PowerShell, Windows services) are described before or instead of Linux alternatives. Some examples (e.g., mounting NFS shares) use Windows syntax first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific instructions, such as using 'scp', 'rsync', or native file managers instead of 'robocopy' and 'Explorer'.
  • Include Bash or shell command examples alongside PowerShell commands for VM and device management.
  • Add troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs where only Windows VM steps are currently described.
  • Ensure NFS mount examples include Linux syntax (e.g., 'mount -o nolock ...') as well as Windows syntax.
  • Reference cross-platform tools and avoid assuming Windows as the default environment.
