System Software

Summary

System software is a type of computer software designed to provide a platform for other software. It serves as a bridge between the hardware and user applications, allowing them to interact with each other efficiently.

Detailed Description

System software includes the operating system and all utility programs that manage computer resources at a low level. Unlike application software, which is designed to perform specific tasks for users, system software is essential for running hardware and application software. Common examples include operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as device drivers and firmware that control specific hardware components.
