Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, primarily by listing Windows prerequisites and tools (such as Visual Studio) before Linux equivalents, and by providing more detailed setup steps for Windows. The use of Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio) and the ordering of instructions (Windows first, then Linux) reinforce this bias. However, the tutorial does provide Linux instructions and examples, and the main sample build and run commands are cross-platform.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions or present them in parallel tabs to avoid always listing Windows first.
- Provide equivalent detail for Linux as for Windows, e.g., mention recommended Linux IDEs or editors (such as VS Code, CLion, or gedit) and any relevant Linux-specific setup tips.
- Avoid assuming Visual Studio is the default C++ development environment; mention cross-platform alternatives.
- Ensure all command-line examples are provided for both Windows (cmd or PowerShell) and Linux (bash), especially for git clone and build steps.
- Where possible, use neutral, cross-platform language and tools in explanations and code snippets.
- Explicitly state that all steps are supported on both Windows and Linux, and ensure parity in troubleshooting or notes sections.

Flagged Code Snippets
In Linux, the binaries are in the _./build_ folder underneath the _mosquitto_ folder.
In Windows, the binaries are in the _.\build\Debug_ folder underneath the _mosquitto_ folder.
## Send telemetry
The *mosquitto_telemetry* sample shows how to send a device-to-cloud telemetry message to your IoT hub by using the MQTT library.
Before you run the sample application, run the following command to start the event monitor for your IoT hub. Be sure to use the name of your IoT hub:
