Issue #10261 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
The behavior you are seeing on Windows was actually done intentionally, because we wanted to have the same parity as was done on other platforms. For example, here are the values returned by a Windows VM running on Mac, i.e. identical hardware. Windows <pre> architecture => i386 ... hardwaremodel => i686 </pre> Mac <pre> architecture => i386 ... hardwaremodel => i386 </pre> If the desired behavior on Windows really is to return the "system type", then this information can be obtained using WMI from the systemtype property of the Win32_ComputerSystem class (for me this is 'x64-based PC').
