Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples and tooling instructions are Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows executables, file paths, and patterns (e.g., .exe installers, %Programdata% variables, C:\Program Files). There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and the documentation assumes the use of Windows-based Hyper-V hosts and management environments. Even in sections discussing post-migration best practices, Windows is mentioned first or exclusively in several places, and Linux is only briefly referenced in a generic context.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that the Migration and modernization tool for Hyper-V is only supported on Windows, if that is the case. If Linux-based Hyper-V management or migration is possible, provide equivalent Linux/Bash command-line examples.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language and avoid hardcoding Windows-specific paths or tools in the main flow. If Windows-only, clarify this early in the prerequisites.
  • In post-migration sections, provide parity for Linux VMs, such as troubleshooting, activation, and security recommendations specific to Linux.
  • If the migration process or tooling is fundamentally Windows-only (due to Hyper-V's architecture), make this limitation clear at the top of the documentation, and link to Linux migration guides for other scenarios.
  • Where Linux is supported (e.g., as a guest OS), include explicit notes or steps for Linux VMs, such as post-migration configuration, agent installation, or troubleshooting.
