Normally, no. Not unless the Application you wish to operate is on a SmartPhone like the Blackberry or iPhone.

Which is more important application or operating software?
Operating system is more important than the application software, in the sense that the operating system is the mother of all software that are to run on the computer. without the operating system, it is impossible for the computer to run. operating system provides a platform for all other software to be installed on. it is actually the main software that supports all other software.
Why should i load the operating system first than the software application?
Without the Operating System you cant LOAD any software. There would be No directories for the "named Software" to reside on.
When you buy your MAC what kind of software will you need to keep it operating correctly?
A Mac will operate correctly without any additional software.
Can unix operate without any other operating system?
Of course. Any piece of software which calls itself an 'operating system,' such as UNIX, is independent of all other operating systems.
What is mobile OS?
A mobile OS (Operating System) is a piece of software that allows you to navigate and operate your phone. Without it, having a phone would be pointless.
What will happen if a computer does not have operating system?
A computer without an operating system will not operate.
What is the Two basic types of computer software's?
Two types of computer software would be: 1. Application Software which would perform useful tasks for users. 2. Firmware, which is software programmed to electrically programmable memory devices on board mainboards or different types of integrated hardware carriers.
Operating systems bridges the gap between hardware and application software?
Before computers were connected in a network, the answer to your question would have been "yes." And it is still true that Operating systems communicate directly with hardware. But life is more complicated now -- there are additional "layers" between the application and the hardware. For example, there might be a communication layer "above" the operating system, which helps application programs on different systems communicate with each other over the network. Or there might be a database layer, which also sits between the application program and the OS. The purpose of these layers is to let you change the underlying parts of the software system without having to rewrite applications. For example, a database layer lets you change the database (say, from Oracle's 11g to IBM's DB2) without changing the application. Similarly, the communications layer lets you change the hardware and the operating system "underneath" the communication layer, while allowing existing application programs to operate as before.
What are the Responsibilities of system software?
Wikipedia: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, ie it manages and controls computer hardware so that application software can perform. Operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, are prominent examples of system software. System software is software that basically makes the computer work. Besides operating systems, other examples are anti-virus software, communication software and printer drivers. Without the system software the computer doesn't work. 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.[1] In general application software are programs 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.
Can you operate a camputer without the camputer software?
You need to have installed an operating system: examples being open source Ubuntu, Microsoft Windows, etc. otherwise you can't use the computer.
How do you operate a computer without the computer software?
You have to have some kind of software to operate a computer. For a computer to even know what to do when you power it on, there is software stored on a chip on the motherboard, called the bios. This tells the computer what disk drives and other components are connected so that it can do something. From the bios, the computer looks for software on a floppy, hard disk, or CD drive to run an operating system of some kind. It is possible to run a computer without software by typing commands in machine language. Even then, you need the software on the computer chip to operate the keyboard. The old VIC 20 and C64's operated in somewhat that way. To do anything you had to type in commands. Unless you are doing something very basic or sophisticated it is impractical to operate a computer without software
What is Software that instructs the computer how to run application and controls the display?
The software is known as the Operating System, with Microsoft's Windows (propriety), Linux and Ubuntu (free open source) being just three examples of many. Without an operating system (of your choice) the computer would not be able to function.
