I think your three categories (windows, unix, generic) are a good
start.  Unfortunately, I can never predict acurately which categories
will tend to be useful.  I tend to start with a single category,
introducing a new category when a sufficient number of related
questions appear.

Oh, and generic questions should probably be first in the list.

I agree.  I was a little annoyed to learn about the macros *after*
having plowed through their cumbersome alternatives.

That sounds fine.
