Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by providing host file editing instructions exclusively for Windows (using Notepad and the C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts path), without mentioning Linux or macOS equivalents. Additionally, the instructions for opening Azure Cloud Shell mention switching to PowerShell, which is more relevant for Windows users, and variable assignment syntax (e.g., $var = ...) is PowerShell-style, which may not be familiar to Linux/bash users.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux (e.g., using sudo nano /etc/hosts) and macOS.
  • Provide both PowerShell and bash syntax for variable assignment and command examples, or clarify which shell is being used.
  • When referencing Azure Cloud Shell, mention both Bash and PowerShell options, and provide guidance for users on Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure that all steps involving local file paths or tools have cross-platform equivalents or notes.
