Where's ware?

Ever thought of a day where our minds can be controlled by something or someone else? Well, I think that that is kind of creepy. But, in the world of computers, that happens already. They have a thing inside of them or program that tells them what to do. It provides instructions that the CPU will carry out. Can you guess what it is? A software. 

There are two kinds of software. System Software – programs that take control of the PC on start-up, and then play a central role in everything that happens within a computer system by managing, maintaining, and controlling computer resources. Application Software – designed and created to perform specific personal, business, scientific processing tasks.

 *Compilers - Softwares used to create softwares through programming.  

PC Platforms 

Platform is defined by a processor and an operating system. Software created to run a specific platform won’t run on other platforms.    

Most personal computer users choose the Wintel platform, which combines one of the Microsoft Windows operating system with an Intel-compatible processor.   

Modern Wintel platforms, such as Windows XP,

Vista

 and Windows 7,

 are backward compatible, allowing programs written for earlier Microsoft platforms to be run on modern systems.  

Before choosing a platform, consider the following:
• Availability of appropriate commercial applications software for the platforms.
• Compatibility of platform with existing hardware, software, and expertise
