Jun 26, 2011 at 19:22 comment added Daniel Beck Mod @Tom Considering that it's a company tag, we should think about how to replace it with more detailed product-specific tags like vmware-workstation; although I could imagine that many uses are about which product is the best for a given use. That's what prompted my third example of when a vendor tag might make sense.
Jun 26, 2011 at 18:52 comment added Tamara Wijsman @DanielBeck: Oh, wait... What do you mean by migration exactly, because I've assumed it was about tag merge because of this context. I think that people use vmware to refer to the product(s), although it is indeed the company...
Jun 26, 2011 at 18:29 comment added Daniel Beck Mod @Tom The way I see it, there is no vmware product. I wrote in the post, it's a company with a single product line, more or less. Products are player, workstation, fusion, server etc. Vmware is really the company.
Jun 26, 2011 at 18:06 comment added Tamara Wijsman @DanielBeck: Well, most questions are about the product as far as I can tell. Do you have an example of a question that's about the company? Because I believe that would be off-topic because it wouldn't be about an actual problem (with regards to computers)...
Jun 26, 2011 at 17:45 comment added Daniel Beck Mod I'm looking forward to a migration plan for the [vmware] tag, which is both the company and its line of products. Or is it OK in this case?
