The difference between hardware and software is that hardware is something physical. It is something you can touch. For example, a CD and its CD-ROM drive is hardware, but the music that is recorded on it is the software.
Drivers. Drivers is like a middle-ground between software and hardware. It takes input from software and translates them into instructions the hardware can understand. Firmware is the software that the hardware is already programmed. Firmware is what allows hardware to "think" for itself.
Computer science involves studying expressions, structures and feasibility. Computer Engineering has software and hardware. The hardware aspect focuses on the physical hardware of the computer. While the software aspect focuses on the system software. Ê
These are the relationships between CAD and other software and hardware. More CNC machines nowadays can get the drawings straight off cad to machine it.

there are several difference between computer hardware and software .fundamental difference between hardware(keyboard,printer) is a physical device and software is instructions that given to the computer(window 2000,microsoft office )etc

Software is the code that a computer runs - you can not touch software, it is abstract. Hardware is what runs computer code - the physical stuff you can touch.
Cost of software for hardware
The difference between software and hardware is that hardware is a physical object. Software is digital data stored on a physical [hardware] storage device. A motherboard is a circuit board, a physical object, and therefore hardware.
The difference is that a hardware interrupt is a signal relayed to a system's CPU directly because of some piece of hardware, such as a keyboard or mouse. A software interrupt is a signal sent to indicate that something within a piece of software requires attention.
Computer Science = software ECE = hardware + software + telecommunication
Hardware is the physical device that you can touch. Software is the collection of instructions and codes and cannot be touched.
One is a hardware device and the other is a software implementation.
micro controller is software and fpga is hardware
No, hardware is of necessity a physical mechanism and software is procedural information. The same software can run on very different hardware, as long as it interprets it the same way producing the same physical effect will have the same result. But hardware without software will do nothing (unless the hardware is fixed single purpose hardware that needs no software).
