Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias, primarily by listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio) before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives, especially in C# sections. Visual Studio is mentioned first for C# quickstarts and deployment, which can imply a Windows-first development workflow. However, the documentation does provide cross-platform alternatives (Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, Maven, etc.) and does not omit Linux-compatible instructions. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples or missing Linux examples, but the ordering and tool emphasis can subtly prioritize Windows.
Recommendations:
- When listing development tools or quickstart options, alternate the order or explicitly mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-only tools like Visual Studio.
- Clearly indicate which tools are cross-platform and which are Windows-only, especially in tool lists and quickstart sections.
- Where possible, provide explicit Linux/macOS terminal instructions or screenshots alongside Windows/Visual Studio steps.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing tool compatibility across Windows, Linux, and macOS for each language.
- Ensure that all references to 'command prompt' clarify that Bash/zsh (Linux/macOS) and Command Prompt/PowerShell (Windows) are supported equally.
