Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Abbreviated GUI (pronounced GOO-ee). GUI is a program interface that takes advantage of the computer's graphics capabilities to make the program easier to use. It frees the user from learning complex command languages because of the well-designed graphical user interfaces. On the other hand, especially if they already know the command language, many users find that they work more effectively with a command-driven interface.
Word Processor
It is more formally known as a document preparation system. Word processor is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of viewable or printed material. They are descended from early text formatting tools (sometimes called text justification tools, from their only real capability). It was one of the earliest applications for the personal computer in office productivity.
Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet applications are computer programs that let you create and manipulate spreadsheets electronically. Each value sits in a cell in a spreadsheet application. You can define what type of data is in each cell and how different cells depend on one another. The names of the cells are called labels and the relationships between cells are called formulas.
Database Management System (DBMS)
Utility Suites
It is a collection of different tools all packaged into one easy to use tool that optimize you computer. Not all utilities though do the same thing nor have the same functions so your choices must reflect what you need in a utility package.
