Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its exclusive use of Microsoft Windows time zone names and .NET format strings for date/time and number formatting. References to time zones consistently point to the Microsoft Windows Default Time Zones documentation, with no mention of IANA/Olson time zones commonly used on Linux. Format strings and locale handling are described in terms of .NET conventions, which are native to Windows environments. There are no Linux-specific examples, nor is there guidance for Linux users on how to map or use equivalent time zone or formatting standards.
Recommendations
  • Add references and examples for IANA/Olson time zone names, which are standard on Linux and many cross-platform environments.
  • Clarify whether functions accept IANA time zone names or only Windows names, and provide conversion guidance or tooling for Linux users.
  • Include notes or tables mapping Windows time zone names to their IANA equivalents.
  • Where .NET format strings are referenced, explain their relation to other cross-platform standards (e.g., strftime on Linux) and provide conversion tips.
  • Explicitly state platform limitations or differences in time zone and formatting support between Windows and Linux.
  • Consider adding Linux-centric examples or usage notes for developers working outside Windows environments.
