Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation generally maintains cross-platform parity, providing instructions and code samples that are equally applicable to Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, in the 'Prerequisites' section, the link for installing Node.js prioritizes Windows-specific instructions ('installing Node.js either directly on Windows or using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)'), which places Windows before Linux or macOS. In the environment variable configuration section, all three platforms (Windows Command Prompt, PowerShell, macOS/Linux) are covered equally and in parallel, with no platform unduly prioritized. No PowerShell-heavy content, missing Linux examples, or exclusive use of Windows tools is present.
Recommendations
  • In the 'Prerequisites' section, provide a more balanced link or sentence for Node.js installation, such as: 'For information about installing Node.js on Windows, macOS, or Linux, see [Get started with Node.js](/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-overview)'.
  • If linking to platform-specific guides, consider listing Linux and macOS before or alongside Windows, or provide a neutral landing page that covers all platforms equally.
  • Continue to ensure that all command-line instructions and code samples are provided for all major platforms in parallel, as is done in the environment variable configuration section.
