Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_first

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation shows mild Windows bias by consistently listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio) before cross-platform or Linux-native tools, especially in C# sections. Visual Studio is highlighted as the primary quickstart and publishing tool for C#, with no mention of Linux-specific editors or workflows. However, most command-line and VS Code instructions are cross-platform, and there are no PowerShell-only examples or missing Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- When listing development tools or quickstart options, avoid always placing Visual Studio (a Windows-only tool) first. Instead, list cross-platform tools like Visual Studio Code or CLI options before or alongside Visual Studio.
- Explicitly mention that Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools are fully supported on Linux and macOS, and provide links or notes for Linux users where appropriate.
- For C# and other languages, include Linux/macOS-specific instructions or notes in quickstart and publishing sections, especially for workflows that do not require Visual Studio.
- Consider adding a table or section summarizing tool support and parity across Windows, Linux, and macOS for each language.
- Where Azure CLI or PowerShell are mentioned together, clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS.
