Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_first
Summary
The documentation provides parity for both Linux and Windows VMs, with explicit statements that the feature applies to both. CLI and ARM template instructions are platform-neutral. However, PowerShell instructions are given equal prominence as CLI, and PowerShell is primarily a Windows tool (though available on Linux, it's less commonly used there). Additionally, in some sections (e.g., Portal and PowerShell tabs), Windows terminology (RDP) is mentioned before Linux (SSH), and PowerShell is listed before ARM template, which may subtly prioritize Windows patterns.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that PowerShell instructions are applicable on both Windows and Linux, or provide Bash/Cloud Shell alternatives where relevant.
  • Consider listing CLI instructions before PowerShell, as CLI is more universally used across platforms.
  • When mentioning remote access, list SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows) together, or alternate their order to avoid subtle Windows-first bias.
  • Add explicit notes or links for Linux users regarding PowerShell usage, or suggest Azure Cloud Shell as a cross-platform option.
  • Ensure screenshots and terminology are neutral or include both Linux and Windows examples where possible.
