Windows 7 is software because you install it on the computer. Hardware is physical and you can touch it with your fingers. EG printer. A printer is hardware because you can touch it.
Windows, all versions, is an operating system, a program. All programs are software. Hardware is the actual physical elements of the computer.
Microsoft windows
No, it is software!
No, it is a software application that runs on hardware.

Microsoft Windows
Microsoft don't actually dominate the network software market, but they do dominate the desktop software market.Microsoft does dominate the desktop software market as their primary product line (Microsoft Windows), is designed to be compatible with as many different computer hardware and software created by other companies. This means most things just work with Microsoft. The other main competitors are Apple and the different types of Linux software. Apple software is designed for close integration of computer hardware and software but this means it is not compatible with many other computer hardware and software like Microsoft software does. Linux is also designed to be compatible with many different computer hardware and software but it isn't as mature as Microsoft Windows.
No the physical components are the hardware. Software is the operating system (Windows, Linux) and appications such as Microsoft office. Think of the hardware as a tape deck, and software as the cassette ;)
None. Windows is software, not hardware.
System software is used to operate and control the hardware, and to allow application software to be run. The operating system (MS Windows, Linux, etc) is an example of system software.
A registry file, or most would called it "Windows Registry" is a database that stores hardware, software settings and options of Microsoft Windows Operating System.
