System software System software provides the basic function for computer usage,which can be divided into operating system and support system.Operating system is the most basic software.System software helps run the computer hardware and computer system. It includes a combination of the following:device driversoperating systemsserversutilitieswindow systemsSystem software is responsible for managing variety of independent hardwares,so that they can work together harmoniously.For the system software, computer users and other software regard the computer as a whole and need not give concern on how every hardware works.The purpose of systems software is to unburden the applications programmer from the often complex details of the particular computer being used, including such accessories as communications devices, printers, device readers, displays and keyboards, and also to partition the computer's resources such as memory and processor time in a safe and stable manner. Examples are - Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Programming softwareProgramming software usually provides tools to assist a programmer in writing computer programs, and software using different programming languages in a more convenient way. The tools include:compilersdebuggersinterpreterslinkerstext editorsAn Integrated development environment (IDE) is a single application that attempts to manage all these functions. Application softwareSystem software does not aim at a certain application fields.In contrast,different application software offers different function based on users and the area it served.Application software is developed for some certain purpose,which either can be a certain program or a collection of some programmes,such as a graphic browser or the data base management system. Application software allows end users to accomplish one or more specific (not directly computer development related) tasks. Typical applications include:industrial automationbusiness softwarevideo gamesquantum chemistry and solid state physics softwaretelecommunications (i.e., the Internet and everything that flows on it)databaseseducational softwareMathematical softwaremedical softwaremolecular modeling softwareimage editingspreadsheetsimulation softwareWord processingDecision making softwareApplication software exists for and has impacted a wide variety of topics.
