Just like the Auto industry, the Software industry has grown from a few visionaries operating out of their garage with prototypes.

Software quality is very important, especially for commercial and system software like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows and Linux.

Software is usually designed and created ( coded / written / programmed ) in integrated development environments ( IDE ) like Eclipse, Emacs and Microsoft Visual Studio that can simplify the process and compile the program.

Software standard organizations like the W3C, IETF develop software standards so that most software can interoperate through standards such as XML, HTML, HTTP or FTP.

The Free Software Foundation advises people to " avoid using terms like ' give away ' or ' for free ,' because those terms imply that the issue is about price, not freedom.

Free documentation is a term used by the Free Software Foundation to describe libre content that supports software, like manuals.

Aspects of the Free Software community, like the Free Software movement, the GNU Project and its copyleft principle are a type of a gift economy for information and software ; a gift economy is the preferred economic system of anarcho-communists.

Software packages can extend the concept of mind mapping by allowing individuals to map more than thoughts and ideas with information on their computers and the internet, like spreadsheets, documents, internet sites and images.

The QuakeC source to the original id Software Quake game logic was published in 1996 and used as the basis for modifications like capture the flag and others.

The Software Engineering Institute offers certifications on specific topics like Security, Process improvement and Software architecture.

Software cracking is the modification of software to remove or disable features which are considered undesirable by the person cracking the software, usually related to protection methods: ( copy protection, protection against the manipulation of software ), trial / demo version, serial number, hardware key, date checks, CD check or software annoyances like nag screens and adware.

There are also industrial solutions available like Matrix Software License Protection System.

This may result in desktop interfaces akin to those of Microsoft Windows or the Apple Macintosh ( examples include Metacity in GNOME, KWin in KDE Software Compilation, Xfwm in Xfce, or Compiz ) or have radically different controls ( such as a tiling window manager, like wmii or Ratpoison ).

The cartoon-style platform games are notable for their pioneering use of EGA graphics and shareware distribution, and they were some of the first games by id Software ( which went on to develop blockbusters like Doom and Quake ).

Software products such as email, calendaring, text chat, wiki, and bookmarking belong to this category, whenever used for group work, whereas the more general term social software applies to systems used outside the workplace, for example, online dating services and social networking sites like Friendster, Twitter and Facebook.

Inspired by the Xerox Star and Apple Lisa, TPS ( Technical Publishing Software ) uniquely enabled authors to write their text and create technical graphics on a computer screen that showed what the page would look like when formatted and printed on a laser printer.

* Typewriter: Free Minimal Text Editing Software the Behaves like a Typewriter

* Motor ( Software ), integrated development environment for Unix like systems

Notable as well are early games like Mega Lo Mania by Sensible Software ( 1991 ) and Supremacy ( also called Overlord-1990 ).

Mallard BASIC, like LocoScript, was a Locomotive Software product, but ran under CP / M.

It sponsors the data traffic of ScriptumLibre, and thereby indirectly helps projects like Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure ( FFII ) and the Free Software Translation Project.

Software Synth developers such as Arturia offer virtual editions of analog synths like the Minimoog, the ARP 2600, as well as the Yamaha GS20.

On some AIOs, like the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C8180 printer, have a DVD burner and Lightscribe functionality where the user could burn DVDs and create an image on a special Lightscribe DVD or CD using special software like Roxio or Nero AG Software Suite to create the image.

Software that uses PHP includes MediaWiki, Joomla, Wordpress, Concrete5, MyBB, and Drupal.

Wikia also uses MediaWiki Software.

Software such as the PLECS interface to Simulink uses piecewise-linear approximation of the equations governing the elements of a circuit.

Several major computer-related organizations have originated at MIT since the 1980s: Richard Stallman's GNU Project and the subsequent Free Software Foundation were founded in the mid-1980s at the AI Lab ; the MIT Media Lab was founded in 1985 by Nicholas Negroponte and Jerome Wiesner to promote research into novel uses of computer technology ; the World Wide Web Consortium standards organization was founded at the Laboratory for Computer Science in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee ; the OpenCourseWare project has made course materials for over 2, 000 MIT classes available online free of charge since 2002 ; and the One Laptop per Child initiative to expand computer education and connectivity to children worldwide was launched in 2005.

* December 10 – id Software releases Doom, a seminal first-person shooter that uses advanced 3D graphics for computer games.

* Systems that operate on free and open source software systems including Linux are various, and include open-source programs such as the Festival Speech Synthesis System which uses diphone-based synthesis ( and can use a limited number of MBROLA voices ), and gnuspeech which uses articulatory synthesis from the Free Software Foundation.

Software for Java EE is primarily developed in the Java programming language and uses XML for configuration.

Other recent ventures include Race to Learn, curriculum software that uses Formula One to encourage group working in primary school children, published through Cambridge – Hitachi, a joint venture between Cambridge University Press and Hitachi Software Engineering that produces software for teaching on interactive whiteboards in schools.

* Real Studio: a RAD IDE developed by Real Software, uses an object-oriented dialect of the BASIC programming language, and produces compiled binaries for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, as wells as being able to produce cgi-based web applications.

More recently, the GNU Radio using primarily the Universal Software Radio Peripheral ( USRP ) uses a USB 2. 0 interface, an FPGA, and a high-speed set of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, combined with reconfigurable free software.

The HPSDR ( High Performance Software Defined Radio ) project uses a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter that provides performance over the range 0 to comparable to that of a conventional analogue HF radio.

Created in 1998 by UserLand Software and Microsoft, XML-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol which uses XML to encode its calls and HTTP as a transport mechanism.

The device uses flash memory technology for storage, and is available through Research Triangle Software of Cary, NC, USA.

Software that doesn't use the OS, or uses custom-programmed tools ( most games and demos do this ), can access the chip directly and take advantage of all 32 voices.

Hewlett-Packard's Remote Graphics Software uses a video codec called HP3 ( codec ) which claims to derive from Mars Rover compression-this could be a real-time implementation of ICER.
