A category can represent a company, product family, or product. The root category is the company category. The company category can have one or more subcategories known as product family categories. Product family categories contain one or more product categories. To determine the category's type, use IUpdateCategory.Type. For example, the company category for Microsoft is Microsoft Corporation.
