Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias in several areas: Windows-specific formats (e.g., SID, domain\username) are consistently listed before Linux equivalents (e.g., UID, simple username), and most examples use Windows-centric values. Windows terminology (such as 'SID', 'Contoso\username', 'DESKTOP-1282V4D') is prioritized in field descriptions and examples, while Linux formats are mentioned but not exemplified as frequently or as prominently. No PowerShell or Windows-only tools are referenced, and Linux support is acknowledged throughout, but the ordering and example choices favor Windows.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux formats in field descriptions and examples to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples (e.g., UID, simple username, Linux hostnames) alongside Windows ones for each relevant field.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux formats are equally supported and provide guidance for Linux/macOS normalization where appropriate.
  • Include sample values and normalization patterns for Linux/macOS systems in addition to Windows.
  • Where possible, use neutral examples or rotate between Windows and Linux in documentation tables and sample data.
