Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer), commands (PowerShell cmdlets), and troubleshooting steps are mentioned without Linux/macOS equivalents or alternatives. Some examples and workarounds are presented using Windows syntax or tools first, and in some cases, Linux instructions are missing or less detailed. While there are references to Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, AzCopy), the overall pattern prioritizes Windows environments, especially in administrative and troubleshooting contexts.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., suggest rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer).
  • Include PowerShell and Bash (or shell) command examples side-by-side for device management and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM extensions and agent issues include guidance for Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
  • Where mounting examples are given, show both Windows (net use, Explorer) and Linux (mount command) syntax.
  • Review all workarounds and ensure Linux/macOS users have clear, actionable instructions.
  • Avoid presenting Windows examples first when both platforms are supported; use neutral or parallel presentation.
