Summary
The release notes for the Azure Connected Machine agent generally provide parity between Windows and Linux, listing features and fixes for both platforms. However, there is a mild Windows bias: Windows download links and version numbers are consistently listed before Linux, Windows installer issues and troubleshooting steps (e.g., UAC, PowerShell, msiexec) are described in detail, and Windows tools (PowerShell, Command Prompt) are referenced without Linux equivalents. Some improvements or fixes are Windows-only, but Linux-only changes are also noted. No critical functionality appears to be Windows-exclusive, and Linux users can access all major agent features.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux in tables and download links, or present them side-by-side.
- When describing installer troubleshooting, include equivalent Linux installation/upgrade troubleshooting steps (e.g., using rpm, dpkg, systemctl).
- Reference Linux tools (e.g., Bash, systemctl, rpm) alongside Windows tools when discussing installation or configuration.
- Ensure that any platform-specific improvements are clearly labeled as such, and provide parity in detail for both platforms.
