users. Examples of business software include:
Microsoft
Office (Word, Excel,
Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, Visio,

Audio and Video Editing. Application software can also include software for

development tools, . It can also include Internet applications such as web
browsers.
System software (such as
operating systems), interfaces with the computer's hardware, to provide the
necessary services for basic computer functions. Examples of system software
