I think that scheme looks very nice, I would like to see different categories including: Productivity File Sharing Networking Multimedia Games and Entertainment Programming Servers Media Utilities Updates
I think that the current scheme is great don't get me wrong, but I have a comment about the interface. If ReactOS plans to be an implementation of the Windows NT Kernel and Environment why not have an implementation of mshta.exe. Mshta.exe is the underlying process by which Windows knows what is installed and where to locate those files. If the Software Library could use a compatible or unique language like it ReactOS would be that much closer to the Windows Implementation it intends to be.
I also wonder about if ReactOS should start a server release, because Windows 2000 Servers and 2003 servers also have a different way of dealing with servers and services run on the local machine.
Just a though.

Lately I've made some initial mockups for ROS. For software library: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/software_library_v2.jpg
Before I cast my vote, I'd like to see some arguments from Mikko and mf about the design of what that list tries to mimic, especially with respect to behaviour - that the selected item changes size upon selection. Pro's, con's, rationale and conclusion could perhaps be a starting point?
Jason, as one of the candidates presentation now turned up late in the voting period, I think this is grounds for an extension.
