Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows examples, tools, and configuration steps are often presented before their Linux equivalents, and in greater detail. Windows-specific tools and UI instructions (e.g., WMI Control Panel, WinRM, Start menu) are described step-by-step, while Linux instructions are more concise and sometimes lack equivalent depth or screenshots. SQL Server (a Windows-centric technology) is covered extensively, while MySQL (more common on Linux) receives minimal coverage. Some sections (e.g., Hyper-V) are inherently Windows-only, but the overall pattern is to foreground Windows workflows.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux instructions are as detailed as Windows ones, including step-by-step guides, screenshots, and troubleshooting tips.
- Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, or alternate which comes first, to avoid the impression of Windows being the default.
- For every Windows-specific tool or UI step (e.g., WMI Control Panel), provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., relevant commands, config files, or tools).
- Expand MySQL/Linux database discovery instructions to match the depth of SQL Server/Windows coverage.
- Where possible, use cross-platform language and avoid assuming a Windows environment (e.g., avoid 'Start menu' as the default entry point).
- Include PowerShell and Bash (or shell) script examples side-by-side for automation tasks.
