Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell examples are provided for every scenario, and Windows-specific configuration names (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot') are used without Linux equivalents or explanation. In most sections, Windows/PowerShell is mentioned before Linux, and there are no explicit Linux shell examples (e.g., Bash), nor guidance for Linux-specific guest configuration queries (except for a single 'installed_application_linux' example). This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who may need to infer or adapt instructions themselves.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Bash or shell examples for Linux/macOS users alongside PowerShell.
- Where Windows-specific configuration names are used (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot'), clarify if Linux equivalents exist and provide those queries.
- Alternate the order of examples so Linux is not always after Windows/PowerShell.
- Add notes or sections explaining differences in guest configuration assignments between Windows and Linux.
- Ensure that all queries and instructions are cross-checked for Linux applicability, not just Windows.
