Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It explicitly states that AzCopy is a Windows-only utility, provides only Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions and screenshots, and omits any Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples. The instructions assume a Windows environment throughout, with no mention of how Linux or macOS users could perform the same tasks.
Recommendations:
- Update the documentation to reflect that modern versions of AzCopy (v10 and above) are cross-platform and available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Provide Linux and macOS installation instructions and example commands (e.g., using bash shell).
- Include screenshots or terminal examples from Linux environments where appropriate.
- Avoid language that implies exclusivity to Windows unless it is truly the case; clarify version-specific limitations if any.
- If PowerShell is referenced, also provide equivalent bash or shell commands for Linux/macOS users.
- Link to cross-platform AzCopy documentation and downloads.
