Yes and no. For the purposes introduced in this thread categories are good, no doubt. But what about the average home computer for a user who wants to do all the internet tasks, some image editing, some vector graphics, some office work (text, calculations), some communication (video chat), listening to music, watching videos, etc. plus serving all the data to his wife's Windows machine and plus playing the occasional game? This is the average package selection in most home computers - i've never seen a home computer which matches one single category, it's more likely a mix of apps from all categories. As these tasks are spread all over the categories the user will have to install all categories (including all the stuff he does not want/need) just to have those few apps he needs. Or he is back to individual package selection which is fine for the advanced user but which we want to avoid for the new/inexperienced user.
