In my particular use case, I use it to distinguish between windows machines
and Linux machines. I have several different classes of windows machines defined
such as win32, win64, e2k13, etc. that automagically select the configuration
on the xymon server. I have never tried to define more than one class though.

The win-ps-client configuration file lets you define a class which makes
configuration of windows machines easier when using central configuration.

If you don't do Windows then that might be why you have never used it.
