There are two basic types of Software. 1. Operating Systems 2. Application Programs
Operating Systems contain general software packages that co-ordinate the hardware control of the computer. They create the computer environment which allows the programs to run. It is a super organizer that may enable several tasks to be carried out at once. For Example, Windows is an Operating System.
An Application Program allows the user to do one or more tasks on the computer. An Application program is like Microsoft Word, or Netscape Navigator.
