Computing as a concept dates back to ancient times with inventions such as the abacus. However, these inventions were fully hardware - software requires a general-purpose processor and computer memory in which reusable sets of routines and mathematical functions can be stored, started, and stopped. Software patents are controversial in the software industry with many people holding different views about them. Programming tools are also software in the form of programs or applications that developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support software. Microcode is a special, relatively obscure type of embedded software which tells the processor itself how to execute machine code, so it is actually a lower level than machine code. It is typically proprietary to the processor manufacturer, and any necessary correctional microcode software updates are supplied by them to users . Software Commercial development of free software is no longer unusual; such free commercial soft...
