Software refers to programs or instructions that tell a computer how to perform tasks. There are two main types: system software which manages hardware resources, and application software which helps users solve problems directly. An operating system is system software that controls and coordinates a computer system by acting as its internal manager. Some examples of operating systems are OS/2, UNIX, LINUX, DOS/MVS, MacOS, JavaOS, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows CE, and Windows 2000. The document expresses an expectation to develop better communication skills in an Operating System course.

1. 1. What is a software
-The set of instruction or programs that tells the computer how to do a specific task is called
software (there is no such word as software, because the plural form of software is also
software.
2. What is the different types of software & describe

3. What do you think the importance operating systems to the computer system
-Is a set of programs which controls and coordinates the whole operation of the computer
system. It acts as the computer’s internal government, controller and resource manager.
