Summary
The release notes for the Azure Connected Machine agent generally provide parity between Windows and Linux, with most features and fixes listed for both platforms. However, there is a mild Windows bias: Windows download links and version numbers are consistently listed before Linux, and troubleshooting guidance (e.g., installer issues) references Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Command Prompt, msiexec) without Linux equivalents. Some improvements and bug fixes are described only for Windows (e.g., GUI accessibility, installer service configuration), and PowerShell scripts are mentioned without Linux shell alternatives.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux download links and version numbers, or present them together where possible.
- Where troubleshooting steps are given for Windows (e.g., using msiexec, PowerShell), provide equivalent Linux instructions (e.g., using rpm, dpkg, systemctl, or shell commands).
- When mentioning platform-specific scripts (e.g., ExtensionCleanup.ps1), clarify if there are Linux equivalents or note their absence.
- Explicitly state when a fix or feature is Windows-only or Linux-only, and provide context for platform differences.
- Consider including a summary table at the top showing parity and platform-specific changes for quick reference.
