1. about the integration of different technologies by the same vendor, like e.g. iTunes/iPod/iOS/Mac OS X (combined e.g. with sync?) for Apple; that would exhaust the tag count limit too easily. The same with very few other vendors, such as Microsoft (anyone else?)
2. It also helps to refer to more obscure products in combination with other tags, as for example, here or here. Since the site supports looking up topics with specific tag combinations, this could prove useful for vendors that don't warrant their own product tags, like apple&laptop instead of macbook
3. If you're looking for a solution to a problem of yours from a specific vendor (vmware comes to mind). But why ask here instead of calling their sales hotline?

1. Desktop and mobile computer hardware mac, macbook, and others
2. A desktop and server operating system osx, osx-snow-leopard, and others

7. Peripherals (mice, keyboards, screens) magic-mouse, mighty-mouse, and possibly others
8. A tablet computer ipad *
9. Server hardware (discontinued, but not too long ago) xserve *
10. Consumer/desktop software ilife, itunes, iphoto, garageband, and others
11. Office software iwork, iwork-09, pages (not all of these), iwork-numbers, keynote
12. Professional video/audio editing software
13. A web browser and its underlying engine safari, webkit

This is just too damn much to be of any use. The really popular products, and even the less popular ones, have their own tags, and for the rest — well, if the combination acer&laptop isn't good enough to keep the vendor tag, then why should apple&monitor be?

19. There's also an IDE (xcode), GUI builder, programming language (objective-c *) with compiler, and related tools.
20. Networking protocols bonjour / zeroconf
21. And I probably forgot tons of stuff.

This is just too damn much to be of any use. Practically as soon as it has a product page, it has a tag on this site. And the rest — well, if the combination acer&laptop isn't good enough to keep the vendor tag, then why should apple&monitor be?
