Summary:
The documentation shows mild Windows bias, primarily in the order and specificity of tool recommendations and examples. Windows tools and patterns (such as the deprecated Azure Storage Emulator) are mentioned explicitly, and there is a lack of Linux-specific instructions or examples. The section on local storage emulation references Windows and Azurite, but does not clarify Linux usage. There are no explicit Linux shell or deployment examples, and the only CLI example uses a generic command prompt block (cmd), which may imply Windows. The 64-bit architecture section is labeled 'Windows only', but does not provide equivalent Linux validation steps.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples alongside Windows, especially for local development, storage emulation, and deployment.
- When referencing tools like Azurite, clarify installation and usage steps for Linux/macOS users, not just Windows.
- Use neutral shell blocks (e.g., 'bash' or 'sh') for CLI commands, or provide both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash) variants.
- In sections that are Windows-specific (such as configuring 64-bit architecture), provide equivalent guidance or confirmation steps for Linux users.
- Avoid referencing deprecated Windows-only tools (like Azure Storage Emulator) without also providing up-to-date, cross-platform alternatives.
- Review screenshots and portal instructions to ensure they are not Windows-centric, or provide Linux/macOS equivalents where UI or experience differs.
