Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily in the prerequisites and setup sections. It instructs users to install Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) and provides only PowerShell/dotnet CLI commands for package installation, without mentioning or demonstrating Linux-friendly alternatives (such as VS Code, Linux package managers, or Bash commands). There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform setup instructions, and no mention of Linux-specific considerations or tools.
Recommendations:
- Include installation instructions for Linux and macOS users, such as using VS Code or JetBrains Rider as alternatives to Visual Studio.
- Provide package installation examples using Bash (e.g., 'dotnet add package ...' in a Bash shell) and clarify that the .NET CLI works cross-platform.
- Mention that Azure CLI and .NET SDK are available on Linux/macOS, and provide links or notes for installing them on those platforms.
- Add a note clarifying that all code samples are platform-agnostic, and explicitly state any platform-specific requirements or differences.
- Where PowerShell is used, provide equivalent Bash commands or clarify that the command can be run in any terminal with the .NET CLI installed.

Flagged Code Snippets
#### Azure Communication Services
Unlike Twilio, Azure Communication Services doesn't have a separate function to send text messages or media.
Use `SendMessage` to send a message to a thread.
- Use `content` to provide the content for the message, it's required.
- Use `type` for the content type of the message such as `Text` or `Html`. If not specified, `Text` is the default.
- Use `senderDisplayName` to specify the display name of the sender. If not specified, empty string is the default.
- Use `metadata` optionally to include any other data you want to send along with the message. This field provides a mechanism for developers to extend chat message function and add custom information for your use case. For example, when sharing a file link in the message, you might want to add `hasAttachment:true` in the metadata so that recipient's application can parse that and display accordingly.
