RE: Category and Folder Difference
 
For interview purpose one line answer is " Categories are Logical way of structuring the contents. But Folders are logical and Physical way of structuring the contents. Contents belonging to category a may be stored in more than one folder. Also inheritance doesn't work exactly same as it is for folder. "

My experience says stay away from categories when at client site. Use folders for organizing the contents. Categories are only there to have backward compatibility with vesion 6.x.
