Is operating system software a commonly used application software?
No. The operating system is actually never 'used' (that is, by the person using the computer). Essentially, the operating system provides a set of tools that applications use to run. The operating system is also responsible for ensuring that the tools are used properly, to prevent one application from causing problems for a different application, or for other areas of the computer. The operating system aspect of "Windows" is actually a very small part of the package you have running on your computer, and is usually referred to by computer folks as the kernel. Windows is a collection of applications that are interacted with both by the operating system, by each other, and by applications installed after Windows, to provide you with the various functions you're familiar with on your computer.
What software serves as the interface between the user the application software?

What do you mean by system software?
Operating system software is a program like Windows, i.e. a program you must have to run a computer. Other software you choose to run is called applications software. Programs like Excel, Word or Internet Explorer are application software. Over history there have been lots of different operating systems. The first one for PCs was called DOS, later came Windows. IBM mainframe computers had three operating systems called VSE, MVS, and VM. Apple has their own operating system. Usually computers are sold with operating system software since you need it to do anything. Most application software is sold separately since you may not want to do the application. There is a disturbing trend in the computer industry to load up computers with trial application software which many people do not want. They do this because the computer manufacturer is paid by the application software vendor to do this.
What is the difference between application software and operating software?
Application software, also known as applications, are computer programs that are designed to perform specific tasks for users. These can range from basic functions such as word processing and data entry to more complex tasks such as photo editing, gaming and video conferencing. Examples of application software include Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and Skype. On the other hand, operating programs, also known as operating systems, serve as the backbone of a computer or electronic device. It is responsible for managing the hardware and software resources of a device, ensuring that they are used efficiently and effectively. Operating systems serve as a bridge between the user and the computer, allowing users to interact with hardware and run various applications. Examples of operating software include Windows, macOS, and Linux. In summary, the main difference between application software and operating software is their purpose. Application software is used for specific tasks and functions, while operating software is responsible for managing the overall operation of a computer or electronic device. Both are necessary for a device to function properly and efficiently.

An application software is a type of software designed to perform specific tasks for the user, such as word processing or web browsing. In contrast, a non-application software, also known as system software, is designed to operate and control the computer hardware. Examples of system software include operating systems like Windows or macOS, device drivers, and utility programs that help manage the computer's resources.
Where is the operating system stored on the computer?
An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs require an operating system to function. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware . The most popular and latest ones include the Windows XP, Mac, UNIX, Linux, Windows Vista, etc.
