well, if the documentation seems to be incomplete or hard to follow for a new comer from Windows with not very much command line exposure, I have to say that the learning curve is there, Vagrant will automate and make something easier but you need to know where you want to do/go
being said that, if you can point what part of the documentation seems to be incomplete, or you can say suggest some introduction, etc, all that can be pass back to vagrant in format of a PR (pull request) and I am confident will be merged to the documentation. Glad that vagrant is working now for you. Alvaro.
