PowerShell and Windows-specific command prompts are used exclusively in all CLI and PowerShell examples, with explicit references to 'Windows PowerShell' and output paths like 'PS C:\Windows>'. There are no Linux or macOS terminal examples, nor are there instructions or screenshots for non-Windows environments. Even when discussing Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, the examples and instructions are framed in a Windows context, and MSI installers (Windows-specific) are mentioned before cross-platform alternatives. No Bash or Linux-native shell usage is shown, and Linux installation or usage patterns are not addressed.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux/macOS users, using Bash or sh terminals (e.g., $ az login) alongside Windows PowerShell examples.
  • Include instructions for installing Azure CLI on Linux and macOS, not just via MSI for Windows.
  • Show sample outputs from Linux/macOS terminals (e.g., /home/user>), not just Windows paths.
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work identically on Linux/macOS and provide any OS-specific caveats.
  • Avoid language like 'Open up a Windows PowerShell command window' when the tool is cross-platform; instead, use neutral phrasing such as 'Open your terminal.'
  • Add screenshots or references for Linux/macOS environments where appropriate.
  • Ensure that all steps and troubleshooting sections mention Linux/macOS where differences exist.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows instructions and toolsets are often presented first, with detailed PowerShell/Command Prompt examples and screenshots. Windows-specific tools (DataBoxDiskUnlock.exe) are highlighted, and troubleshooting/validation steps are more thoroughly documented for Windows. Linux instructions are present and reasonably detailed, but sometimes appear after Windows, and rely on external utilities (SEDUtil, dislocker) with less integrated support. Some sections (e.g., troubleshooting, validation) provide more Windows-centric guidance or examples, and Linux instructions occasionally reference deprecated distributions (CentOS).
Recommendations
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, giving equal prominence to both platforms.
  • Provide Linux examples and screenshots at the same level of detail as Windows, including troubleshooting and validation steps.
  • Avoid referencing Windows tools or PowerShell before Linux equivalents; mention both together or alternate order.
  • Expand documentation for Linux-specific utilities (e.g., SEDUtil, dislocker) with clear installation, usage, and troubleshooting guidance.
  • Update Linux instructions to focus on supported distributions and avoid deprecated ones (e.g., CentOS).
  • Ensure all toolset download links and next steps are equally visible for both platforms.
  • Include parity in help output and example commands for both Windows and Linux unlock tools.

Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Windows operating systems and tools before Linux equivalents, providing detailed requirements for Windows clients (including PowerShell, .NET Framework, Windows Management Framework, BitLocker) while Linux requirements are listed more briefly and after Windows. Windows-specific tools are mentioned by name, whereas Linux requirements are grouped and less detailed. There is also an emphasis on Windows in the examples and tables, with Windows versions listed first and more extensively.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows requirements in parallel, giving equal detail and prominence to both platforms.
  • List Linux operating systems and required tools before or alongside Windows equivalents in tables and sections.
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples and tool installation instructions, similar to the detail given for Windows tools.
  • Include troubleshooting and validation steps for Linux clients, not just Windows.
  • Avoid listing Windows versions and tools first in tables; alternate or group by platform for parity.
