Difference Between PC and Server
https://askanydifference.com/difference-between-pc-and-server/

Computer hardware is a collective term used to

describe any of the physical components of an analog
or digital computer. The term hardware distinguishes
the tangible aspects of a computing device from
software, which consists of written, machine-readable
instructions or programs that tell physical components
what to do and when to execute the instructions.
(Awati, 2021)

The main difference between PC and server is that PC

is the device used for personal uses and to access the
internet. While a server is the part of the computer that
takes care of the network resources. The server helps
the computer to connect to the internet, but the PC is
the device that contains the server. (Yadav, 2022)

other. Provide
examples. System software provides a platform for other software
and includes the programs managing the computer
itself, such as the computer’s operating system, file
management utilities and disk operating system.
Examples of a system software in a PC include
Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux. As for the
smartphones, there are android OS and iOS for apple
devices. Other examples include game engines,
computational science software, industrial automation
software and software as a service application. Other
than operating systems, some people also classify
programming software and driver software as types of
system software. (Coderus, 2020)

https://www.openxcell.com/blog/application-software/

Another type of software is the application software.

Application Software is a type of computer program
that performs specific functions. These functions,
performed by application software, can be personal,
business as well as educational. Thus, application
Software is also known as end-user software or
productivity software. Some of the functions of an
application software are manipulating data, managing
information, calculating figures, keeping records,
developing websites and many more. Examples of an
app software are Microsoft Office products like Word,
Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook, and etc.
