Description

Software

information used by a computer and stored in one of several storage
media. Software is the data that enables a user to produce meaningful work.
Although the disk containing such data is considered hardware, the actual
data, being intangible, is termed software. Software is synonymous with the
term application, which refers to a program that actually produces results for a
user such as a spreadsheet or word processing program. System software refers
to an operating system such as Windows or Linux. The terms application,
utility, and program are often used to describe software.
