It has to be decided if documentation for VM should be part of the guide: I can easily remove at Lancaster's discretion. |
I think the inclusion of VMs is fine, but it muddies the installation instructions for those who just want a straightforward-ish process. Perhaps it would be better if it were brought out as a separate section, rather than intermingled with other platforms? |
Let us just remove the VM? Edit https://github.com/lancaster-university/microbit-docs/pull/46/files?diff=split Edit: Note: I do not explain how to install the VM or choice of VM as this is out of scope as it is probably hard to maintain |

The PR got a little bit bigger as I then went thru the page and made the page a bit smaller
For consideration, review and possible merge.
