How is a system software different from an application software?

• System software gets installed when the operating system is installed on the computer while application software is installed according to the requirements of the user. • System software includes programs such as compilers, debuggers, drivers, assemblers while application software includes media players, word processors, and spreadsheet programs. • Generally, users do not interact with system software as it works in the background whereas users interact with application software while doing different activities. • A computer may not require more than one type of system software while there may be a number of application software programs installed on the computer at the same time. • System software can run independently of the application software while application software cannot run without the presence of the system software.


How do you compare system software and application software?

In my limited capacity with working with different software packages I view system software as drivers that gets your computer up and running whereas application software is installed to perform needed tasks such as article spinning, fixing system errors or monitoring your system for ad-ware, hackers or virus's. But whatever the case both system software and application software should be made to be compatible with one another.

What software allows users to perform calculations on rows and columns of data?

electronic spreadsheetThe specialised software for this is a 'spreadsheet', probably the most common such software these days is Microsoft Excel. Where most of the data is numbers, then it is best to use a spreadsheet. A database is also capable of doing these calculations, and if calculations are based on text, like you were counting how many different department names there are in a company, a database is better. Most word-processing software also allows a table of rows and columns to be defined in a document and the same sort of calculations can then be carried out within the table, though this would be rarely used for anything more than very simple calculations, and most word processor users would not even be aware that you can do calculations in a word processing table.
