I consider Hyper-V Guest, VMware Guest, and WMI node to be all more granular than a "computer". It sounds like what you're trying to get at is a desktop/workstation/non-server Windows machine role? WMI is specific to Windows, yes, but it excludes Windows nodes that have server operating systems. Those are marked as "Server". So WMI is basically a Windows host that doesn't appear to be a server. We could call that a Workstation and perhaps we should. On the other hand, it could be many things that aren't a workstation, so WMI seems like a good indicator that it's a Windows based host but we don't actually know if it's a workstation or what. Thoughts?
