System Software
System software supervises and controls all activities of a computer system,
functioning as the manager of the computer.
The primary role of system software is to prepare the computer for use and to run
application software. The operating system is an example of system software.
Microsoft Windows is the most popular operating system available today. It has
different versions, like Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8,
Windows 10 and Windows 11.
System software is a very important part of a computer system. Without system
software, the computer is like a car without a driver.
Application Software
Application software is used to perform a specific task.
For example, you can draw and colour pictures in Paint software, but you cannot
play a movie or a song in it.
To play a song, you need to use Windows Media Player, which is a software
specifically designed for playing audio and video files.
Hence, Paint and Windows Media Player are examples of application software,
but both are used for different tasks.
