Summary
The documentation page shows a moderate Windows bias. Windows operating systems are listed first and most extensively in the supported OS values table, with Linux and macOS mentioned only at the end. The only example given for device information uses Windows 7, and there are no Linux or macOS examples. The 'Next steps' section links to a Windows-specific script, with no Linux/macOS equivalent. However, the procedures themselves are not Windows-specific and could be followed by users on any platform.
Recommendations
- Add Linux and macOS examples in the 'Device information example' table, e.g., show a row for a Linux device and a macOS device.
- In the 'Supported values for Device operating system' table, list Linux and macOS alongside Windows, not after, and provide more parity in detail for non-Windows OSes.
- In the 'Next steps' section, include links to Linux/macOS endpoint detection or relevant scripts, or clarify if such scripts are not available.
- Wherever Excel is mentioned, note that any spreadsheet editor (including LibreOffice Calc or Google Sheets) can be used, to avoid implicit Windows bias.
