Summary
The documentation displays a Windows-first bias by listing Windows-specific tools, paths, and troubleshooting steps before their Linux equivalents. Sections such as 'Errors seen in AzCopy for Windows' precede 'AzCopy for Linux', and Windows paths (e.g., C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) are mentioned first. Some recommendations reference Windows-specific services (e.g., time.windows.com) without Linux alternatives. There is also a lack of parity in example commands and troubleshooting steps for Linux, especially in sections not explicitly labeled for Linux.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel tables to ensure equal visibility.
  • When referencing file paths or system actions (e.g., editing hosts file), always provide both Windows and Linux examples together.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific services (e.g., time.windows.com) as the only example; mention Linux-appropriate NTP servers or general best practices for both OSes.
  • Include explicit Linux troubleshooting steps and example commands wherever Windows examples are given (e.g., importing certificates into the system store).
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools and terminology, or clarify when a tool or step is OS-specific.
  • Review section ordering to avoid always listing Windows before Linux; consider alternating or grouping by task rather than OS.
