Summary

The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias. It exclusively uses Windows Server for compute nodes, configures the pool with a Windows image, and provides only Windows command-line examples (e.g., 'cmd /c type'). There are no Linux VM or command-line examples, and the workflow assumes Windows environments for both pool configuration and task execution. Linux equivalents are not mentioned or demonstrated.

Recommendations

Add parallel Linux examples throughout the documentation, including pool creation with a Linux Marketplace image and corresponding VirtualMachineConfiguration/ImageReference code.
Show how to specify a Linux command line for tasks (e.g., using '/bin/bash -c cat ...' instead of 'cmd /c type ...').
Explicitly mention that Azure Batch supports both Windows and Linux pools, and provide guidance on choosing and configuring each.
Include sample code snippets and configuration for both Windows and Linux scenarios side by side.
Clarify in the prerequisites and instructions that the quickstart can be completed on both Windows and Linux development environments, and provide any OS-specific notes as needed.
