Bias Analysis

windows_first
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its reliance on PowerShell cmdlets (Set-CsTeamsAcsFederationConfiguration, Set-CsExternalAccessPolicy) for critical administrative steps, without mentioning or providing Linux/macOS alternatives. The prerequisite and authorization steps assume access to Microsoft Teams PowerShell and Skype for Business PowerShell modules, which are Windows-centric tools. There is no guidance for Linux users on how to perform these administrative tasks, nor are cross-platform CLI or REST API alternatives highlighted. The programming examples themselves are cross-platform, but the administrative setup is Windows-first.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions using Microsoft Graph API or Azure CLI for tenant-level and user-level configuration, making the process accessible from Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly mention platform requirements for PowerShell steps and offer alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • Add notes or links to documentation on how Linux/macOS users can perform Teams/Skype administrative tasks, e.g., via browser-based admin centers or REST APIs.
  • Where possible, prioritize cross-platform tools and document them before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
