System software

System software is any computer software which manages and controls computer hardware so that application software can perform a task. Operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, are prominent examples of system software.

System software is software that basically makes the computer work. Examples beside operation systems are anti-virus software, communication software and printer drivers. Without the system software the computer doesn't work. The software that allows you to do things like create text documents, control stocks, produce music DVD's is called application software.[1]

In general application software are programs that enable the end-user to perform specific, productive tasks, such as word processing or image manipulation. System software performs tasks like transferring data from memory to disk, or rendering text onto a display device.


Types of system software
System Software can be classified as operating system and language processors.

Operating system creates an interface between user and the system hardware. Language processors are those which help to convert computer language (Assembly and high level Languages) to machine level language.

The example of language processors are assemblers, Compilers and interpreters.

System software helps run the computer hardware and computer system. It includes operating systems, device drivers, diagnostic tools, servers, windowing systems, utilities and more. The purpose of systems software is to insulate the applications programmer as much as possible from the details of the particular computer complex being used, especially memory and other hardware features, and such accessory devices as communications, printers, readers, displays, keyboards, etc.
