gollark: *But* not all of that software will run on all other platforms. A web application can't run on some random 8-bit microcontroller, an Android app can't run on a Linux/Windows desktop environment without emulation, sort of thing.
gollark: Web applications are software. A few kilobytes of code running on a microcontroller is software.
gollark: That too!
gollark: The OS on your phone is software. The apps on your phone are also software. A script I write to run inside ComputerCraft is software.
gollark: Software is not just the word for "stuff you run on Windows".
