Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-based examples and tools. The only detailed code samples are in C# (.NET), which is most commonly associated with Windows development. The main code example for pool creation uses a Windows Server image, and the referenced GitHub sample is a C# console app. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform scripting examples, and Linux is only mentioned in a REST API JSON snippet, not in a full code sample or workflow. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., MicrosoftWindowsServer, Batch .NET) are used exclusively or before Linux equivalents.

Recommendations

Add equivalent Linux-based code samples, such as Python SDK examples, especially for pool creation and task submission.
Include shell script (bash) or CLI examples for common operations, not just .NET/C#.
Show both Windows and Linux VM image configurations side by side in code samples.
Reference and link to cross-platform or Linux-specific sample projects (e.g., Python, Node.js) in addition to C#.
Ensure that documentation language and examples are balanced, mentioning Linux and Windows equally and not prioritizing Windows terminology or tools.
