A software program running on top of the operating system (Windows, UNIX, Mac) that has been created to perform a specific task for a user. Examples include word processing software like Word/Word Perfect, spreadsheets like Excel or Lotus 123, home finance packages like Quicken, etc.
A program or group of programs designed for end users.
Software can be divided into two general classes:
Systems Software and applications software. Systems software consists of low-level programs that interact with the computer at a very basic level.
This includes operating systems, compilers, and utilities for managing computer resources. In contrast, applications software (also called end-user programs) includes database programs, word processors, and spreadsheets.
Figuratively speaking, applications software sits on top of systems software because it is unable to run without the operating system and system utilities.
Application software is a subclass of computer software that employs the capabilities of a computer directly to a task that the user wishes to perform. This should be contrasted with system software which is involved in integrating a computer's various capabilities, but does not directly apply them in the performance of tasks that benefit the user.
