Summary
The documentation page instructs Mac users to install and use the 'Windows App' (Microsoft's RDP client) to connect to Azure Lab Services VMs, focusing exclusively on this Windows-branded tool. It does not mention alternative RDP clients available for macOS (such as Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac or open-source options), nor does it provide parity for connecting to Linux VMs beyond a brief mention of SSH and a link to a separate X2Go guide. The emphasis on 'Windows App' and lack of alternative client suggestions creates a Windows-centric experience, even for Mac users.
Recommendations
- Mention and provide instructions for alternative RDP clients available on macOS, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac, FreeRDP, or Royal TSX.
- Clarify whether 'Windows App' is required or if other RDP clients can be used, and provide guidance for those.
- Include a brief comparison or recommendation for connecting to Linux VMs, referencing both SSH and graphical options like X2Go, within the main article rather than only in 'Related content'.
- Ensure screenshots and instructions reflect the actual user experience on macOS, not just the use of Windows-branded tools.
