Summary
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all queries, which are cross-platform tools. However, there is a notable Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell is featured as a primary method (and is traditionally associated with Windows), and some queries and resource names (e.g., 'WindowsPendingReboot') are Windows-specific with no Linux equivalents shown. In most sections, Windows-centric queries or terminology appear before Linux examples, and there is only one explicit Linux-focused example ('installed_application_linux'), which is the exception rather than the rule.
Recommendations
- For queries like 'WindowsPendingReboot', provide equivalent Linux examples (e.g., 'LinuxPendingReboot') if supported.
- Where resource names or queries are Windows-specific, clarify Linux alternatives or explicitly state if none exist.
- Balance example coverage by including Linux/macOS-specific guest configuration assignments and queries where possible.
- When listing command tabs, alternate the order or clarify cross-platform compatibility, rather than defaulting to PowerShell (Windows) first.
- Add notes or links to Linux/macOS documentation for guest configuration policies and compliance reporting.
