Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently using Windows command prompt syntax (e.g., 'C:\>') for DNS query examples, referencing 'command prompt' and 'cmd', and showing nslookup and dig commands prefixed with Windows-style prompts. There are no explicit Linux or macOS shell examples, nor is there mention of running these commands from a Bash shell or Linux VM. The instructions for running DNS queries assume a Windows environment, and there is no guidance for Linux users, despite the cross-platform nature of Azure VMs.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux/macOS shell examples for DNS queries (e.g., show '$ dig ...' and '$ nslookup ...' in Bash).
  • Explicitly mention that the DNS query steps can be performed from either Windows or Linux VMs, and clarify any OS-specific differences.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments where appropriate.
  • Avoid using only Windows command prompt syntax (e.g., 'C:\>')—use a neutral prompt ('$') or show both.
  • In the prerequisites, clarify that the virtual machine used for DNS queries can be Windows or Linux, and provide instructions for both.
