Deprecate product version preview tags - just use new version tag straight away

(Related to What will happen to the Windows-8-Preview tag once Windows 8 goes live?)

I notice is synonymous with . What's the rationale here?

In theory having the two separate tags would allow us to later filter out questions that arose during the technical preview. But that won't be the case if one's a synonym of the other.

On the other hand, if it's not useful to have this distinction, seems pointless, and we should just use .

With the benefit of hindsight, I think in future we ought to deprecate creation/use of "product version preview" tags, and instead simply create and use a tag for the upcoming version straight away.
