Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. The prerequisites section links only to Windows VM creation, omitting a Linux equivalent. Throughout the portal-based enablement steps, there are references to Windows-specific features (e.g., Windows Registry, Windows Files, Windows Software) without parallel emphasis on Linux-specific features. In the CLI section, both Linux and Windows commands are provided, but Linux instructions are not as prominent or as detailed elsewhere. There are no direct Linux VM creation links or explicit Linux portal walkthroughs, and Windows terminology often appears first.
Recommendations
  • Add a link to the Linux VM creation quickstart in the prerequisites section, alongside the Windows link.
  • Ensure that Linux-specific features (such as tracking changes in Linux configuration files or packages) are mentioned with equal prominence as Windows features.
  • Where examples or screenshots reference Windows-specific UI elements or terminology, provide Linux equivalents or clarify applicability.
  • In all lists or instructions, alternate the order of Windows and Linux references, or group them together to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Include explicit Linux portal walkthroughs or notes where behavior or options differ from Windows.
  • Review all sections for parity in detail and clarity between Windows and Linux instructions.
