Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows-first bias in its examples and guidance for mounting Azure file shares and using file paths. Specifically, the only concrete file path examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., 'Z:\\file-share'), and all code samples for file I/O reference these Windows paths. While links to both Windows and Linux mounting instructions are provided, there are no Linux or cross-platform code examples or file path usages. This may make it less approachable for Linux developers or those working in cross-platform environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific or cross-platform file path examples alongside Windows examples (e.g., '/mnt/file-share' for Linux).
- Include at least one code example using a Linux-style mounted path, or demonstrate how to write code that works on both platforms (e.g., using os.path.join and platform detection).
- When referencing mounting instructions, alternate the order or present both Windows and Linux options equally, rather than listing Windows first.
- Add notes or code comments clarifying how to adapt examples for Linux environments.
- Consider including a section or callout on cross-platform compatibility and best practices for supporting both Windows and Linux in Python applications using Azure Files.
