Summary
The documentation page lists a large number of Microsoft products available through Azure for Education, with a strong emphasis on Windows-centric tools (Windows Server, Windows 10/11, Hyper-V, Visual Studio, SQL Server, etc.). While some cross-platform tools (Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio for Mac, R Client/Server) are mentioned, the majority of examples and product lists are Windows-focused. There are no explicit Linux/macOS usage examples, nor are Linux equivalents (such as Linux VMs, open-source developer tools, or instructions for non-Windows platforms) discussed. The order of product listing and feature discussion generally places Windows tools first or most prominently.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit mention of Linux/macOS-compatible tools and software available through Azure for Education.
  • Provide examples or instructions for deploying Linux virtual machines, as well as Windows VMs.
  • List open-source and cross-platform developer tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) available to students.
  • Balance product lists by alternating or grouping Windows and non-Windows tools, rather than listing Windows tools first.
  • Add a FAQ section addressing Linux/macOS users, including how to access and use Azure services and developer tools from those platforms.
