Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Most queries and examples reference Windows-specific concepts (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot'), and there is a lack of parity for Linux-focused scenarios except for a single explicit Linux example. Windows terminology and assignment names are used without equivalent Linux examples, and the documentation does not provide Linux-specific guest configuration queries (e.g., pending reboot for Linux, installed applications for Windows). PowerShell is featured as a primary automation tool, which is traditionally Windows-centric, and Windows-related queries appear before Linux ones.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux guest configuration assignment examples (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot', installed applications for Windows).
- Ensure examples for both Windows and Linux are provided for each scenario, not just one or the other.
- Where possible, use cross-platform terminology and avoid Windows-specific names unless also providing Linux equivalents.
- Include Bash or shell scripting examples for Linux users alongside PowerShell.
- Clearly indicate which queries/examples apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and strive for parity in coverage and detail.
