First of all I must say, you have done a great job, the howto is awesome.
I have a couple of comments, but they might not be valid -- it just my
opinion:
* I would add more detailed associations explanation -- mainly a statement
that association are basically ordinary classes.
* It might be useful to describe standard methods - EnumerateInstances,
GetInstance, References/Associators...
* Typo page 19: The preferred mechanism is to use the *pegaus* user account
* PropertyPolicy on page 22 has wrong format (bullets and indentation)
* Typo page 23: Sometimes *refereed* to as a broker ...
Otherwise it looks good.
Thanks,
