| Again, G.B.L. can troubleshoot any
software related problems you may be experiencing, or if needed
we can advise on new software you may wish to buy - we will also
undertake the installation of new software packages.
Software is a general term used for the various kinds of programs
used to operate computers and related devices. (The term hardware
describes the physical aspects of computers and related devices.)
Software is often divided into application software (programs that
do work users are directly interested in) and system software (which
includes operating systems and any program that supports application
software). The term middleware is sometimes used to describe programming
that mediates between application and system software or between
two different kinds of application software.
An additional and difficult-to-classify category of software is
the utility, which is a small useful program with limited capability.
Some utilities come with operating systems. Like applications, utilities
tend to be separately installable and capable of being used independently
from the rest of the operating system.
Software can be purchased or acquired as shareware
(usually intended for sale after a trial period), liteware (shareware
with some capabilities disabled), freeware (free software but with
copyright restrictions), public domain software (free with no restrictions),
and open source (software where the source code is furnished and
users agree not to limit the distribution of improvements).
For the average PC user, most new PCs arrive pre-installed with
some software, usually the Operating System such as Windows XP,
and maybe Microsoft Office or Lotus Suite. At some point you may
require to purchase some new software for your specific
requirements whether they be for leisure or business, this is where
GLB can help advise with buying and installation.
