Summary:
The documentation exhibits some Windows bias, particularly in the .NET and Python sections. Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell) are listed before cross-platform or Linux-native options. In the .NET section, Windows tools are prioritized, and Azure PowerShell is mentioned without an equivalent Azure CLI example. In the Python section, the quickstart links default to 'windows' tabs, even when Linux is supported. Linux-specific instructions are less prominent or missing in some cases. Other stacks (Java, Node.js, PHP) are more Linux-friendly, but overall, Windows tools and patterns are often presented first or exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific tool or example (e.g., Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell), there is an equivalent Linux-friendly or cross-platform alternative (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code) presented with equal prominence.
- In quickstart tables, avoid defaulting to 'windows' tabs or pivots; instead, provide both Windows and Linux options side by side, or default to the most cross-platform approach.
- For .NET, add explicit Azure CLI examples and ensure Linux development environments are covered as thoroughly as Windows.
- Review all quickstart and tutorial links to ensure Linux instructions are not hidden behind secondary tabs or pivots.
- Where possible, use neutral language and tool ordering (e.g., list VS Code and CLI before Visual Studio and PowerShell) to avoid implying Windows is the default or preferred environment.
