Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first

windows_tools
Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., E:\...), reference Windows-native tools (Notepad), and assume the use of the ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe executable, which is a Windows binary. There is no mention of running the tool or equivalent operations on Linux, nor are there any Linux shell or PowerShell alternatives. The documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows/Hyper-V ecosystem, with no guidance for Linux administrators.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state if the tool is only supported on Windows. If cross-platform support exists, add Linux-specific instructions and examples.
  • Provide Linux/Unix path examples (e.g., /home/user/Hyper-V_ProfiledData) alongside Windows paths.
  • If the tool can be run under Wine or Mono on Linux, document the process.
  • Replace or supplement references to Notepad with cross-platform editors (e.g., nano, vim, gedit) or generic instructions (e.g., 'open the file in a text editor').
  • Clarify any prerequisites or limitations for non-Windows users.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, suggest alternative approaches or tools for Linux environments where possible.
