	System software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		System software is a generic term referring to any computer software that is an essential part of the computer system.
		System software contrasts with application software, which are programs that help the end-user to perform specific, productive tasks, such as word processing or image manipulation.
		If system software is stored on non-volatile storage such as integrated circuits, it is usually termed firmware.

		System software is a generic term referring to any computer program or library whose purpose is help run the computer system, as opposed to application software that helps solve user problems directly.
		Specific kinds of system software include operating systems, device drivers, compilers, assemblers, linkers, and utilities.
		Software libraries that perform generic functions also tend to be regarded as system software, although the dividing line is fuzzy; while a C runtime library is generally agreed to be part of the system, an OpenGL or database library is less obviously so.
