Adobe's use of 19770-2 SWID Tags

Adobe posted a blog entry providing details about the use of software identification tags in the Acrobat 9 and CS4 product lines.  Adobe, like many software publishers, is working to help its customers accurately identify Adobe software titles installed on a variety of computing devices.  Using SWID tags, Adobe provides authoritative information about which product was installed on a device and if that product is part of a suite, or part of a stand-alone installation.  This information is provided on a variety of Windows platforms as well as on Macintosh platforms.
