Have you heard about system software before? Have you ever wondered that, why does your computer can show beautiful user interface and very easy for you to select, configure or work on it? This one thing maybe you never think of. So for most normal users, they can not work without user interface like computer experts who can use commands instead. So in order to get user interface and let some hardware work properly, your computer has to install system software
System Software is user interacts primarily with application software. System software enables the application software to interact with the computer hardware. System software is “background” software that helps the computer manage its own internal resources. System software is not a single program. Rather it is a collection of programs, including the following:
- Operating systems are programs that coordinate computer resources,provide an interface between users and the computer, and run applications.Windows 7 and the Mac OS X are two of the best-known operating systems for today’s microcomputer users.
- Utilities perform specific tasks related to managing computer resources.For example, the Windows utility called Disk Defragmenter locates and eliminates unnecessary file fragments and rearranges files and unused disk space to optimize computer operations.
- Device drivers are specialized programs designed to allow particular input or output devices to communicate with the rest of the computer system.
