the very basic os --MS-DOS allows uers to directly have access to hardware
MS Office runs on a computer that can run the appropriate Windows version to coincide with your particular version of office. There also is a version of MS Office that runs on a MAC. Additionally, you would use a monitor, mouse, printer, and many other types of hardware, depending on the specific purpose for which you want to use MS Office.
MS-DOS was initially released in 1981 for the Intel 8086 and 8088 based processors. There are no software requirements for MS-DOS as it is a stand-alone operating system. MS-DOS is compatible with x86 systems.
Operating system (OS) is a program that is an interface between other programs and physical hardware, your computer. Literally, it makes your computer to funtion. It communicates also with MS Office. MS Office on the other hand is a set of programs that are used to perform office tasks such as: MS Word - text processor MS Excel - spreadsheets MS Powerpoint - presentations MS Access - databases.
As with most software packages, later versions make improvements on older versions to take into account advances in new hardware & software development.
They are essentially the same program, except the 2007 version has enhancements and updates to take account of advances in computers, and new hardware being produced.
Hardware: The physical components that make up a computer. Technically speaking, if you can physically touch a part with your bare hands, it is hardware. This includes every component that makes up a computer, from the CPU, to the RAM, and even the keyboard. Software: The logical components that make up a computer, and is "executed" by hardware (primarily the CPU). While you can touch the hardware the software is stored in, you can't actually touch the software, since it is a series of binary ones and zeros inside the computer's hard drives, RAM, CPU, cache, etc. Some examples are MS Word, Adobe Reader, Avast Antivirus, OpenOffice, and many more.
Operating system is a layer between hardware and programs you use (MS Word or so). So its advantage is that it makes your computer work.
False. It is software.
A VDU is hardware.
