Shell/User is basically all things having to do with the OS. The shell of an OS is generally considered to be the the user facing pieces of the OS, which is quite a bit with an OS like Windows. And user is related in that it is the user experience. so this category covers pretty much anything within the OS that you see, click or touch.

You'd probably have to ask MS what they really meant by this. ;-) The shell is anything about the operating system where interaction between it and the user takes place. I suppose the "user" means you. I tend to think of it as a generalist category - not strictly security, networking, program-related (like the Office programs), etc. MS has to categorize us as something I suppose, although an award in a particular area isn't necessarily representative of the MVP's area of expertise.
