System software represents a complex of programs providing effective control of components of a computing system –processor, random access memory, input-output channels, network equipment, being an intermediate interface between the equipment and applications of a user. The system software does not solve specific application-oriented objectives, but only ensures functioning of other programs; it controls hardware resources of the computing system, etc.

The evolution of OS had several stages:

1. 
   1945-1955. Appearance of electron tubes, cross-connect patch panel. Libraries of mathematical and system programs were applied as the system software.
   
2. 
   1955-1960. Appearance of transistors. OS is a batch processing system.
   
3. 
   1960-1980. Appearance of integrated microcircuits and multiprogramming. Multiprogramming systems included implementation of protective mechanisms between programs, use of exclusive programs, memory protection, and interruptions.
   
4. 
   1980-up to nowadays. Appearance of big integrated circuits and systems for operation in networks and distributed OS.
