Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows client OS access and licensing (Windows 10/8.1, MSDN, Enterprise Dev/Test subscription) in the Azure subscription section, with no mention of Linux equivalents or licensing. The examples and prerequisites focus on Windows tools and Microsoft-centric collaboration platforms (Visual Studio, Teams, SharePoint) without referencing Linux or open-source alternatives. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform examples for VM usage, remote access, or DevTest Labs scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Include information about using Linux-based VMs in DevTest Labs, including licensing and Marketplace image options.
- Provide examples or references for connecting to Linux VMs (e.g., SSH instructions, Linux remote desktop options) alongside RDP/Windows examples.
- Mention open-source or cross-platform collaboration tools (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Mattermost) in addition to Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Azure Repos.
- Clarify that DevTest Labs supports both Windows and Linux environments, and provide links to relevant Linux documentation.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux options are mentioned alongside or before Windows options where appropriate.
