Summary

The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with explicit references to Windows file paths (e.g., C:\ADF). There is no mention of Linux, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives for running the pipeline or managing files. The tutorial and walkthrough links also focus on Azure PowerShell, reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.

Recommendations

Provide equivalent Bash/CLI examples for Linux and macOS users, using Azure CLI commands (az datafactory ...).
Use cross-platform file path examples (e.g., /home/user/ADF or <path-to-adf-folder>) or clarify that file paths should be adapted to the user's OS.
Include a note or section on how to perform the same steps on Linux/macOS, including installation and authentication steps for Azure CLI.
Reference tutorials or quickstarts that use Azure CLI or REST API, not just Azure PowerShell.
Avoid assuming the user is on Windows by default in instructions and examples.
