 Software

• Computer software, or just software is a

general term used to describe the role that
computer programs, procedures and
documentation play in a computer system.

 Types of Software

• System Software
• Application Software

Copyright @ Amity University

 System Software

• System software is closely related to, but

distinct from Operating System software. It is
any computer software that provides the
infrastructure over which programs can operate,
i.e. it manages and controls computer hardware
so that application software can perform.
Operating systems, such as GNU, Microsoft
Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, are prominent
examples of system software.

 System Software

• System software is software that basically

allows the parts of a computer to work
together. Without the system software the
computer cannot operate as a single unit.

 Application Software

• In contrast to system software, software

that allows you to do things like create text
documents, play games, listen to music, or
surf the web is called application software

Copyright @ Amity University

 System Software

• In general, application programs are

software 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

• Command User Interface

• Disk Operating System DOS, short for "Disk
Operating System",[1] is a shorthand term for
several closely related operating systems that
dominated the IBM PC compatible market
between 1981 and 1995, or until about 2000 if
one includes the partially DOS-based Microsoft
Windows versions Windows 95, 98, and Me.

 • Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating
systems and graphical user interfaces produced by
Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating
environment named Windows in November 1985 as an
add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in
graphical user interfaces (GUIs).[1] Microsoft Windows
came to dominate the world's personal computer market,
overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced
previously. As of July 2009, Windows had approximately
93% of the market share of the client operating systems
for usage on the Internet.[2] The most recent client
version of Windows is Windows Vista; the most recent
server version is Windows Server 2008. Vista's
successor, Windows 7 (currently at release to
manufacturing), is scheduled to be released on October
22, 2009.

 Microsoft Windows: An overview of
different versions of windows
• Versions
• Windows 3.0 and 3.1
• Windows 95, 98, and Me
• Windows NT family
1.4.1 64-bit operating systems
• Windows CE

Copyright @ Amity University

 Windows 3.0 and 3.1
• Main articles: Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1x
• Windows 3.0 (1990) and Windows 3.1 (1992) improved the design,
mostly because of virtual memory and loadable virtual device drivers
(VxDs) which allowed them to share arbitrary devices between
multitasked DOS windows.[citation needed] Also, Windows
applications could now run in protected mode (when Windows was
running in Standard or 386 Enhanced Mode), which gave them
access to several megabytes of memory and removed the obligation
to participate in the software virtual memory scheme. They still ran
inside the same address space, where the segmented memory
provided a degree of protection, and multi-tasked cooperatively. For
Windows 3.0, Microsoft also rewrote critical operations from C into
assembly, making this release faster and less memory-hungry than
its predecessors.[citation needed] With the introduction of the
Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows was able to bypass DOS
for file management operations using 32-bit file access

Copyright @ Amity University

 Windows 95
• Windows 95 was released in 1995, featuring a new user interface,
supported long file names of up to 250 characters, could automatically
detect and configure installed hardware (plug and play), natively ran 32-bit
applications, and featured several technological improvements that
increased its stability over Windows 3.1. Windows 95 uses pre-emptive
multitasking and runs each 32-bit application in a separate address space.
This makes it harder for a single buggy application to crash the whole
system. It was still not a secure multi-user operating system like Windows
NT as a strict separation between applications was not enforced by the
kernel. The API was a subset of the Win32 API supported by Windows NT,
notably lacking support for Unicode and functions related to security.
Windows 95 was now bundled together with MS-DOS 7.0, however its role
was mostly delegated to that of a boot loader.
• There were several releases of Windows 95; the first in 1995, with Service
Pack 1 following in December which included Internet Explorer 2.0.
Subsequent versions were only available with the purchase of a new
computer and were called OEM Service Releases. OSR1 was equivalent to
Windows 95 with SP1. OSR2 (also called Windows 95 B) included support
for FAT32 and UDMA and shipped with Internet Explorer 3. OSR 2.1
included basic support for USB and OSR 2.5 (also called Windows 95C)
shipped with Internet Explorer 4.0.

 Windows 98
• Microsoft's next release was Windows 98 in 1998.
Microsoft released a second version of Windows 98 in
1999, named Windows 98 Second Edition (often
shortened to Windows 98 SE).
• In 2000, Microsoft released Windows Me (Me standing
for Millennium Edition), which used the same core as
Windows 98 but adopted some aspects of Windows
2000 and removed the "boot in DOS mode" option. It
also added a new feature called System Restore,
allowing the user to set the computer's settings back to
an earlier date.

 Windows NT family

• The NT family of Windows systems was fashioned and

marketed for higher reliability business use. The first
release was MS Windows NT 3.1 (1993), numbered
"3.1" to match the consumer Windows version, which
was followed by NT 3.5 (1994), NT 3.51 (1995), NT 4.0
(1996), and Windows 2000 (2000). 2000 is the last NT-
based Windows release which does not include
Microsoft Product Activation. NT 4.0 was the first in this
line to implement the "Windows 95" user interface (and
the first to include Windows 95’s built-in 32-bit runtimes).
Microsoft then moved to combine their consumer and
business operating systems with

 Windows XP

• Windows XP, coming in both home and professional

versions (and later niche market versions for tablet PCs
and media centers); they also diverged release
schedules for server operating systems. Windows Server
2003, released a year and a half after Windows XP,
brought Windows Server up to date with MS Windows
XP. After a lengthy development process, Windows Vista
was released toward the end of 2006, and its server
counterpart, Windows Server 2008 was released in early
2008. On July 22, 2009, Windows 7 and Windows
Server 2008 R2 were released as RTM (release to
manufacturing). Microsoft plans to release Windows 7 in
late October 2009.
