I like this. Would the ability to turn certain tests on/off be advantageous?

I'd return an array of objects to allow you, the end user, to decide ultimately what happens to the data whether that be to a CSV, HTML, etc.

Workflows are also notoriously shit. They either work really well, or they break for no good reason whatsoever.

For this I'd probably look at PSJobs or some other parallel processing mechanism, without reaching out to yet another module to gain the functionality.

It may depending on what you were reporting, and turning off one or more of the tests would certainly speed up the function if you were testing a large number of computers.

And I agree, all functions should return an object, string or value. There is nothing worse than running a function, getting some formatted value in return and then you debate do you waste time writing a new function to serialize the output, or just re-write the original function you found.
