I'm guessing StackExchange is partnering with them in this move.
- hueving 12y agoDefinitely. It was created by Jeff Atwood who is a very "pro-Microsoft" figurehead in the .NET community so there was probably a lot of collaboration in this move.
- catkin 12y agoTrue, but Jeff Atwood left SO quite some time ago now.

- teh_klev 12y agoAs catkin has pointed out, Jeff left SE a good while ago. Also his current baby, Discourse [0], is built on Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Redis at the back end and ember.js on the front [1].

- Theodores 12y agoAskUbuntu is the place for Ubuntu where Canonical are fully doing it. Microsoft are following suit.

- hirsin 12y agoAlready partnered - that the "Internet-Explorer" tag already has an image indicates an existing partnership [1]. This may be a deeper partnership though. 1: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/30187/what-do-icons-on-the-tags-mean http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/30187/what-do-icons-...
- Shog9 12y agoWouldn't have to be. You don't have to partner with SO to allow folks to ask questions about your product; they just have to be programming questions. Ideally good ones. Also helps a lot if you answer them. If you want to go further than that, there are various levels of sponsorship possible for a tag, and [internet-explorer] has been sponsored at some level for at least a year. These grant you various advertising and branding privileges, but do not otherwise affect how questions are asked/answered within that tag.
