Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-based environments first, providing detailed instructions for Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell), and using Windows command prompts as the default for most programming language pivots. Linux alternatives are mentioned but often as secondary options or with less detail. Some sections (especially C development) are heavily oriented toward Visual Studio and Windows workflows, with Linux instructions relegated to external links or brief notes. PowerShell is given as the main scripting example for Windows, while Linux uses openssl/bash, but the Windows example appears before the Linux one. The overall structure and language reinforce Windows as the primary platform, with Linux support presented as an afterthought.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence, ideally side-by-side or in parallel tabs.
  • For each programming language, provide explicit Linux setup and build instructions (e.g., using gcc/make for C, mono for C#, bash for scripting) within the main documentation, not just in external links.
  • Avoid phrases like 'This tutorial is oriented toward a Windows-based workstation' and instead state cross-platform compatibility up front.
  • Include Linux-first or at least Linux-equal examples for command-line operations, environment setup, and SDK usage.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., gcc, g++, make, bash, openssl) with the same level of detail as Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell).
  • Ensure that screenshots, sample outputs, and code snippets reflect both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Where possible, use platform-neutral commands (e.g., Azure CLI, Python, Node.js) and clarify any OS-specific differences.

Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: it repeatedly refers to setting up and running the simulated TPM device on a Windows machine, lists Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, .NET Core SDK, Simulator.exe), and provides step-by-step instructions tailored to Windows environments (e.g., Visual Studio solution files, command prompts, Git Bash). Linux and macOS environments are mentioned only in passing, with a link out to external SDK documentation, and there are no explicit Linux/macOS examples or instructions for building/running the TPM simulator or SDK samples on those platforms. The use of Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., Visual Studio, .exe files, Windows build tools for Node.js) further reinforces the bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux and macOS instructions and examples for all SDKs, including installation, build, and run steps.
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for Windows-only tools (e.g., alternatives to Visual Studio, .exe files, Windows build tools).
  • Ensure parity in code samples and command-line instructions (e.g., use cross-platform commands, show both Windows and Linux/macOS terminal commands).
  • Mention Linux/macOS prerequisites and environment setup in the main documentation, not just as a link to external resources.
  • Where possible, use platform-neutral language and tools (e.g., CMake, VS Code, cross-platform SDKs) and avoid assuming a Windows development environment.

Windows First Windows Heavy Language Missing Linux Example Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Windows is referenced first and most frequently in prerequisites and sample instructions, with explicit mentions of 'Windows-based machine' and 'Windows command prompt.' Linux equivalents are not provided for key steps such as running commands, creating projects, or editing files. The Java section states that the article uses Windows, and the certificate generation instructions rely on Git Bash (a Windows tool), without mentioning native Linux alternatives. The overall workflow and tooling are described from a Windows-centric perspective, with Linux compatibility only briefly acknowledged.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows steps, especially for command-line operations and file paths.
  • Use neutral language such as 'on your development machine' instead of 'on your Windows-based machine.'
  • Include Linux shell commands (bash, sh) and file path formats in code samples and instructions.
  • Mention and demonstrate Linux-native tools for certificate generation and editing, such as OpenSSL and standard Linux text editors.
  • Clarify that all SDKs and samples work on both Windows and Linux, and show how to run them on each platform.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Git Bash) as the primary method; provide Linux alternatives or note cross-platform options.
  • Add screenshots or terminal outputs from Linux environments where appropriate.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While the main examples use the Azure CLI (which is cross-platform), Windows-centric tools and patterns are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. PowerShell is referenced multiple times as an alternative method for deployment, and links to PowerShell documentation are provided before or instead of Linux shell equivalents. There is no explicit mention or example of using Bash or Linux-native tools (e.g., curl, wget, or shell scripting), nor are Linux-specific considerations (such as package installation or environment setup) discussed. The ordering and phrasing tend to present Windows/PowerShell options before Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/shell examples alongside Azure CLI commands, especially for resource group creation and template deployment.
  • Mention Linux and macOS compatibility for the Azure CLI and clarify any OS-specific prerequisites or setup steps.
  • Provide links to Linux shell documentation and deployment guides, not just PowerShell.
  • When listing alternative deployment methods, mention Bash/shell scripts and Linux tools before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for Linux terminal environments where appropriate.
  • Review and balance the ordering of tool mentions so that Windows and Linux options are presented equally.

Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, notably by mentioning Windows and Git Bash before Linux in several places, and by providing detailed instructions for Windows users (such as installing Git and using Git Bash) while only briefly referencing Linux/WSL users. The prerequisites and command instructions are often Windows-centric, and there is no explicit example for native Linux terminals or alternative Linux tools. The use of Git Bash as the recommended shell for Windows users may be confusing for Linux users, as it is not a standard Linux tool. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the overall flow assumes familiarity with Windows environments and tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit examples and instructions for native Linux environments, including standard Bash shells.
  • List Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Clarify that all commands work in standard Linux Bash, not just Git Bash or WSL.
  • Offer installation guidance for required tools (curl, openssl, Python) on Linux distributions.
  • Avoid recommending Windows-specific tools (e.g., Git Bash) as the default for cross-platform scenarios; instead, suggest platform-appropriate shells.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., permissions, package installation).

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows is mentioned first and most frequently as the development environment, with explicit instructions to use Windows command prompts and Windows-based machines. Examples for certificate creation and manipulation reference Windows-specific tools or tabs, and there is a lack of Linux-specific instructions or parity in command-line examples. The Java section explicitly states 'this article uses Windows', and the certificate creation tutorial links default to Windows tabs. There are no Linux shell examples for .NET or Java workflows, and the use of Git Bash is described as a Windows tool, despite its cross-platform nature.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, including shell commands for .NET and Java workflows.
  • Avoid language such as 'Windows-based machine' or 'Windows command prompt' unless truly required; instead, use 'command line' or specify both Windows and Linux equivalents.
  • Ensure all referenced tutorials and links (e.g., certificate creation) include both Windows and Linux tabs, and default to a neutral or cross-platform view.
  • Clarify that tools like Git Bash are available and commonly used on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Add notes or pivots for Linux-specific prerequisites (e.g., package managers, environment setup) where appropriate.
  • Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, note any differences for Linux users (e.g., file paths, shell environments).

The Azure CLI example is presented first and is cross-platform, but the ordering of tabs and the explicit mention of PowerShell and Windows tools before Linux alternatives suggests a mild Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Present platform examples in a neutral or rotating order (e.g., Linux first in some sections, or alphabetical).
  • Explicitly state cross-platform compatibility for CLI tools and highlight parity between Windows and Linux methods.
  • Include more details for Linux users, such as alternative methods (e.g., Python or other scripting languages) for key derivation.
  • Avoid language like 'On Windows...' and 'On Linux...' that may imply a primary/secondary status; use 'On Windows or Linux...' or 'On any platform...'.
  • Ensure that all code samples are equally detailed and tested for both platforms.

Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-based tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) are mentioned first and in detail, with Linux alternatives referenced only briefly or as secondary options. Many code and setup examples use Windows command prompts and tools, and instructions for Linux users are often relegated to external links or short notes. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for most programming languages, and Linux-specific instructions are less prominent or missing in some sections.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and macOS setup instructions with equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions, including explicit package installation commands and environment setup steps.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) examples alongside Windows command prompt and PowerShell examples for all SDKs and code samples.
  • Avoid language such as 'This tutorial is oriented toward a Windows-based workstation'—instead, state that the tutorial supports both Windows and Linux environments and provide clear pivots or tabs for each.
  • For C development, offer step-by-step instructions for building with gcc/clang and CMake on Linux, including troubleshooting tips for common Linux build issues.
  • Ensure that all code samples (e.g., setting environment variables, running SDK samples) include both Windows (cmd/PowerShell) and Linux (bash) syntax.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., openssl, base64, xxd) with the same level of detail as Windows tools, and avoid suggesting Windows tools as the default.
  • Where external links are provided for Linux instructions, consider integrating those instructions directly into the main documentation for parity.

Windows First 🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias: Windows is mentioned first and most prominently as the target development environment, with prerequisites and instructions focused on Windows tools (Visual Studio, .NET Core SDK, Simulator.exe). Many steps assume Windows (e.g., use of Visual Studio, command prompt, Git Bash, and Windows-specific executables). Linux and macOS are only referenced as alternatives, with no detailed instructions or examples provided for those platforms. There is a lack of parity in examples, build instructions, and troubleshooting for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit, step-by-step instructions for Linux and macOS environments, including package installation, build tools (e.g., GCC, Clang, Make), and alternative TPM simulators.
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows tools mentioned (e.g., Visual Studio alternatives such as VS Code, Eclipse, or command-line build instructions).
  • Offer troubleshooting tips and common issues for Linux/macOS users, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Ensure all code samples and commands are cross-platform, or provide platform-specific variants where necessary.
  • Mention Linux/macOS options before or alongside Windows, rather than only as a secondary note.
  • Document how to run the TPM simulator on Linux/macOS (e.g., using Mono, Wine, or native builds if available), and provide links to relevant resources.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page references the Azure portal, CLI, and PowerShell for creating diagnostic settings, but does not provide explicit Linux or Bash examples. PowerShell is mentioned as a method for configuration, which is primarily a Windows tool. There are no Linux-specific instructions, screenshots, or examples, and the order of mention puts Windows-centric tools (PowerShell) before Linux equivalents. The page assumes use of the Azure portal (web UI), which is cross-platform, but command-line examples and tool references are Windows-biased.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/Azure CLI examples for all operations currently described for PowerShell.
  • When listing command-line options, mention Bash/Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for Linux terminal usage where relevant.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide installation/use instructions for Linux.
  • Avoid mentioning PowerShell exclusively; if referenced, always pair with Bash/Azure CLI equivalents.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows development environments, Visual Studio, and PowerShell examples. Linux alternatives are referenced only via external links or brief mentions, with most step-by-step instructions, tooling, and screenshots focused on Windows and Visual Studio. Linux-specific setup and usage are not covered in detail, and the main device simulation workflow is described using Windows-centric tools and patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed Linux setup instructions inline, including package dependencies, build tools (e.g., gcc, make), and IDE alternatives (e.g., VS Code, CLion).
  • Include Linux shell (bash) examples for environment variable setup, SDK build, and device simulation, not just PowerShell and Windows command prompt.
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux environments (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Visual Studio steps.
  • Reference and summarize the linked Linux/macOS setup documentation within the tutorial, rather than requiring users to navigate away.
  • Offer troubleshooting and cleanup instructions for Linux (e.g., using az CLI in bash, removing resources via shell commands).
  • Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which require OS-specific instructions, and present both options side by side.
