Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several ways: Windows examples, tools, and PowerShell cmdlets are often listed before Linux equivalents, and in some sections (such as ASP.NET, Java, and Spring Boot web app data), only Windows server discovery is described. There is heavy reliance on Windows-specific tools (WMI, PowerShell, Registry, etc.), and more detailed breakdowns for Windows features compared to Linux. Linux examples, while present, are sometimes less detailed or appear after Windows content.
Recommendations:
- Ensure Linux and Windows sections are presented with equal prominence and detail, possibly by interleaving or parallelizing their presentation.
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, WMI) are mentioned, provide equivalent Linux commands or tools alongside, not just after.
- For sections like ASP.NET, Java, and Spring Boot web app data, clarify if Linux discovery is supported, and if so, provide Linux-specific details/examples. If not supported, explicitly state this.
- Balance the level of detail in Linux sections to match that of Windows, especially for software inventory, feature data, and storage metadata.
- Avoid using only Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'cmdlet', 'WMI class') without Linux equivalents (e.g., 'command', 'proc file', 'systemd unit').
- In tables, present Windows and Linux data side by side where possible, rather than in separate, sequential sections.
- Review related content and links to ensure Linux scenarios are equally represented.
