Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific tools and requirements are mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., the replication appliance must run on Windows Server 2012 R2/2016), and some steps and troubleshooting sections focus on Windows management services or activation issues. While Linux instructions are present, they are sometimes less detailed or appear after Windows instructions. There is no mention of using a Linux-based replication appliance, and some examples (e.g., screenshots, troubleshooting) are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parity by offering Linux-based options for the replication appliance, if supported, or clearly state if only Windows is supported and why.
  • When listing steps for both Windows and Linux, alternate the order or present them in parallel to avoid always putting Windows first.
  • Expand Linux-specific troubleshooting and post-migration guidance to match the detail given for Windows (e.g., mention common Linux boot or driver issues, not just Windows activation).
  • Include Linux-specific screenshots or examples where appropriate, not just Windows-centric visuals.
  • If certain features or tools are Windows-only, explicitly note the lack of Linux support and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
