Bias Analysis

windows_first
Summary:
The documentation generally presents a balanced approach for both Windows and Linux Azure VMs, especially in the 'Install the VM agent' section, where both platforms are given clear instructions. However, there is a subtle 'windows_first' bias: in the VM agent installation table, Windows instructions are listed before Linux, and the Windows process is described in more detail (with explicit verification steps and version numbers), while the Linux process is more general and refers to distribution repositories. No PowerShell-specific commands, Windows-only tools, or missing Linux examples are present elsewhere in the document.
Recommendations:
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or alternate the order in which they are described to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Provide equally detailed verification steps for Linux agent installation (e.g., how to check the agent version and service status on Linux).
- Where possible, offer command-line examples for both Windows (PowerShell/Command Prompt) and Linux (bash/CLI) for common tasks, even if the Azure Portal is the main method.
- Explicitly state that all steps apply equally to both Windows and Linux VMs unless otherwise noted.
