Is Microsoft Word is considered to be Application Software?
No, the Operating system, is the environment which is software based. But this environment allows applications to run within it. An example would be Ubuntu (which is Linux) Operating system runs a media player application program such as Banshee. Microsoft windows 7 Operating system running a word editing application such LibreWriter or Microsoft Word. Mac OSX operating system running iMovie an video editing application. Applications are programs running in an operating system.
Is dos a system software true or false?
Operating System is also called as System Software.. Its TRUE..
Is it true System software includes the operating system and utility programs?
yes
Is it true an application run within an operating system?
Nope - the Operating System is a closed program. Applications run as independently as 'extensions' to the core Operating System.
Is it true that only personal computers need some form of operating system software?
no it is not..

False, the OS is software, it is not a physical part of the computer
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.
The purpose of an operating system is to organize and control hardware and software so that the device it lives in behaves in a flexible yet predictable way?
true
What software refers to any software that is installed on a computers hard disk?
System software is the programs that are installed on your hard disk that control the operation of your computer and all the devices you have attached to that computer. Within the perimeter of system software is the operating system and utility programs.
