| Apr 8, 2011 at 10:29 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @james use tag wildcards like vmware* that is what they are designed for. | |
| Apr 8, 2011 at 10:24 | comment | added | JamesRyan | It is a real nuisance that you have done this because although a question may be about a specific vmware product, the answers often apply just as well to the others as a lot of the configuration is the same. Its a bit like someone asking a general sql question about select statements and you tagging it as mssql2000 just because they mentioned that was the product they happened to be using. | |

Interesting side-effect of this re-taggging effort: two more badges assigned for vmware-esxi

| Mar 27, 2011 at 22:09 | comment | added | user9517 | @MarkHenderson: yeah - Jeff put some effort in so I thought I'd finish it. A weekend is a good time to do it too as it's usually quite quite. Would you mind checking your 2 [vmware] related questions and retag ? Cheers ;) | |

| Mar 27, 2011 at 11:21 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | Thanks Jeff, as I said I'm much more concerned about people just using the plain 'vmware' tag in the future, oh and I saw your chat post about their product list, personally I find it very easy as that's what I do, it would be much worse if someone just used a plain 'microsoft' tag as they sell hundreds of products. | |

| Mar 26, 2011 at 23:46 | comment | added | user9517 | @JohnGardeniers: Some will be like that but many do contain sufficient information to be able to retag them correctly. The real problem with the vmware tag is that it is the first in the list when you start to type vm... so it leads to lazy tagging | |
| Mar 26, 2011 at 22:56 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | I suspect a lot of those 700 are too vague to be readily identified for retagging, even of someone wanted to do it manually. | |
