yes, this is all 12.04. The apps lens is nasty, if you have a hundred or 
so applications it just presents a few in the installed apps category, 
which you can expand to see a random heap of stuff. The dash is great if 
you know the name of the application you want, and like to type it. If 
you want to go to the apps lens and browse throught the applications you 
have no idea what an application does because it is not in a category. 
Filters are the wrong place to put the categories.
it could look like this:

but it isn't designed that way.
