Summary
The documentation page exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer), PowerShell commands, and Windows VM troubleshooting steps are described in detail, while equivalent Linux/macOS commands or workflows are missing or mentioned only briefly. In some cases, Windows examples are given first or exclusively, and Linux alternatives are not provided, creating friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows-specific commands and tools (e.g., show how to use cp, rsync instead of robocopy/Explorer for blob copying).
  • Include Linux/macOS examples for connecting to devices (e.g., using ssh, Linux sqlcmd installation).
  • Balance PowerShell instructions with Bash or shell examples for common tasks.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and provide troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS VMs where Windows VM steps are described.
  • List Linux/macOS tools and patterns alongside Windows ones, not after or instead of them.
