Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides general best practices for virtual machine cost optimization and references both Windows and Linux VM pricing. However, there is a minor bias in the development/test environment section, where B-Series recommendations specify 'Use at least B2 for Windows machines' without an equivalent Linux guidance, and Windows is mentioned first in pricing links. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples or Windows-only tools, and Linux is referenced in VM creation and pricing links.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux guidance for B-Series VM sizing if applicable (e.g., 'Use at least B2 for Linux machines' or clarify if sizing differs).
- Ensure Linux examples or recommendations are provided alongside Windows-specific advice in all relevant sections.
- When linking to pricing pages or VM sizes, mention Linux and Windows equally (e.g., 'Review pricing for both Windows and Linux VMs').
