Attaching manufacturer and details to products
G'day
I have used Drupal itself for a few years but not the e-commerce portion. I am using Drupal 7.9 with DrupalCommerce 1.0 Jumping a site from a Virtuemart, I am trying to find references on how to attach manufacturers to products and record details such as address, contact info for the manufacturer. I have investigated using manufacturer as a taxonomy so far.
If someone could possibly give me an idea on the best approach to do this in DrupalCommerce, or provide urls to documentation I have missed, it is greatly appreciated. Lost a day or two asking Google the wrong questions apparently.
Thanks in advance,

Glad you were able to post
I'm glad you were able to post. I've disabled Mollom and will give captcha a trial run now.
Add fields to products
The way you add information to products is by adding fields to them.
If I were going to put manufacturer information, I'd probably attach a nodereference field to the product which pointed to a node explaining about the manufacturer.

Thank you very much, that makes sense. With flexibility comes the extra learning curve. That just confirms for me that the jump to Drupal Commerce is absolutely the right move.
