Bias Analysis

Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily by referencing Windows-specific tools (Guidgen.exe, Visual Studio) for GUID generation, without mentioning cross-platform or Linux alternatives. There are no command-line examples for Linux/macOS users, and the only tool suggested for GUID generation is a Windows utility. The documentation also implicitly assumes use of the Azure Portal UI, which is cross-platform, but where command-line or scripting is referenced, it is Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- When suggesting GUID generation, include cross-platform alternatives such as the uuidgen command (available on Linux/macOS) or PowerShell's [guid]::NewGuid() for Windows, and note that online GUID generators are also available.
- Wherever a Windows-specific tool is mentioned (e.g., Guidgen.exe), provide equivalent commands or tools for Linux/macOS.
- If showing command-line or scripting examples, provide both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux/macOS (Bash) equivalents.
- Explicitly state that all steps can be performed on any OS via the Azure Portal, and provide CLI/REST API examples where appropriate.
- Review all tool recommendations to ensure they are not Windows-exclusive, or at least present cross-platform options with equal prominence.
