Summary
The documentation provides release notes for both Windows and Linux versions of the Azure Connected Machine agent. However, Windows download links are consistently listed first, and Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell, msiexec, and GUI installer instructions) are mentioned in troubleshooting and known issues, with no equivalent Linux command-line examples or troubleshooting guidance. Some improvements and bug fixes reference Windows tools/scripts (e.g., ExtensionCleanup.ps1, MSI signature verification) without Linux parity. Linux-specific issues and improvements are included, but Windows patterns are more prominent in guidance and examples.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux download links or present them together to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • When mentioning Windows-specific troubleshooting steps (e.g., using msiexec or PowerShell), provide equivalent Linux instructions (such as using sudo, rpm, or systemctl) where applicable.
  • For script-based improvements (e.g., ExtensionCleanup.ps1), clarify if there are Linux equivalents or note their absence.
  • Expand known issues and troubleshooting sections to include Linux-specific guidance, not just Windows installer problems.
  • Ensure parity in highlighting improvements and bug fixes for both platforms, and avoid referencing Windows tools/scripts without mentioning Linux alternatives.
