Most of the software I worked on didn't have enough content to 
require significant organization.  Some aspects of IA relate pretty 
well, like labeling, categories and navigation.  User Experience 
techniques were much more important for me.

For what it's worth, I helped design bibliography software (EndNote), 
a developer environment (Metrowerks CodeWarrior) and a mail server 
and webserver on the Mac [don't laugh] (StarNine Mail & WebSTAR). 
Don Norman was and is a great inspiration.
