CIM_SoftwareFeature
The CIM_SoftwareFeature class described in Table 3-33 defines a
particular function or capability of a product or application system. This class
is intended to be meaningful to a consumer, or user of a product, rather than
to explain how the product is built or packaged. When a software feature can
exist on multiple platforms or operating systems (for example, a client
component of a three-tiered client/server application might run on
Windows Server 2003), a software feature is a collection of all the software
elements for these different platforms. The users of the model must be aware
of this situation because typically they are interested in a sub-collection of the
software elements required for a particular platform.
