What is the difference between Operating software and applications software?
The computer works with the help of the operating system. It gives the framework to run the application software. The application allows the user to use the computer for particular purposes.
How does the application software need the system software?
Application software sometimes require system software to access some of the operational aspects. For instance during installation, an application software may require motherboard or harddisk serial number. For that purpose, an application software has to depend on a system software to get that information. The operating system works between the hardware and the applications. Applications focus on what the user needs to do, like type a word processing document or create a graphic. For the application to work it needs to be able to communicate with the hardware for doing things like saving things or printing things. It does that through the operating system. A diagram like a pyramid in 4 sections or 4 blocks on each other is often used that show the hardware at the bottom, the operating system next, the applications next and the user at the top. Another way of thinking of it is that the user uses the applications, the applications use the operating system and the operating system uses the hardware.
Briefly explain why software applications and operating system software are periodically updated by the suppliers?
A. To add new features B. To stop security vulnerabilities
What is operating system. Explain the functions of operating system?
The OS, Operating system, controls everything that is software and major hardware based. From applications to handling inputs and running the hardware in a correct manner.
What is the relation between microprocessor and operating system?
a microprocessor is hardware, it provides the physical mechanism (electronic circuitry) needed to run any software on a computeran operating system is software, it provides the logical mechanism (algorithms) to coordinate the running of all the software on a computerapplications (or apps) are software, they are coordinated by the operating system and run by the microprocessor to perform tasks useful to a human user of the computer
