Your wish will be granted in Outlook 2007, which will store categories in the user's default store. Check out Hank's blog entry for some preview information on color categories -- http://blogs.msdn.com/melissamacbeth...17/534491.aspx

Just about everything in Outlook is central to Exchange when set up on a
domain, but I've found that Contact Categories are only stored in a registry
key. If a user has set up their own categories and then logs into a
different computer, their categories are not available. They key has to be
exported/imported. The categories should be stored in Exchange so that they
can be accessed and updated from any computer.
