System software is a software that deals directly with the architecture of the computer hardware. Operating system is a system software.
Application software is a software that interacts with end users and basically does whatever end user is working on. Application software does NOT deal with the architecture of a computer.
End User
Application program
Utilities
Operating System
Hardware
Thats the software hierarchy
Both Utilities and Operating System is a system software
System software are operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, etc. All mobile phones have them too, such as Android, iOS, RIMOS, Linux etc.
Regarding with the application software, Like Office Word, Excel, Power Point, Photoshop from iNetwork Software, Internet Explorer etc.
System software is designed to manage and control hardware components and provide a platform for running application software. It includes operating systems, device drivers, and utilities. Application software, on the other hand, is designed to help users perform specific tasks or activities, such as word processing, web browsing, or gaming. While system software operates in the background, application software directly serves the needs of the user.
