No, an operating system (OS) is not considered application software; it is system software. The OS manages hardware resources and provides a platform for application software to run. While application software performs specific tasks for users, the operating system facilitates the overall functioning of the computer and allows applications to operate.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is true of system software?
System software is designed to manage and support computer hardware and provide a platform for running application software. It includes operating systems, device drivers, and utilities that facilitate the functioning of the computer system. Unlike application software, which performs specific tasks for users, system software operates in the background to ensure the overall functionality and efficiency of the computer. It is essential for resource management, hardware interaction, and system security.
Is it true that only personal computers need some form of operating system software?
no it is not..
Is this true or false an operating is the primary software that runs on a computer?
It's true. The operating system is the main set of instructions the computer needs to enable it to work. Without the operating system, the other programs couldn't interact or perform their tasks.
Antivirus and anti-spyware software treat only the symptoms not the cause of the problem?
This is true. The cause is the operating system .
Is it true that World of Warcraft is going to be a browser game?
Not in present form - no browser can handle the requires as it is an application running on an operating system; right now warcraft runs directly on the operating system.
True or false Norton is both application software and utility software?
True. Norton refers to a suite of software products that includes both application software, such as Norton Antivirus and Norton Security, which are designed for specific user tasks like protecting against malware, as well as utility software that helps optimize system performance and manage security features.
True or False - An operating system is a special type of hardware?
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.
