The scope of this selection is mainly packaged software, so important content such as TCP / IP protocol and Ethernet code is not included in it, of course, conceptual content such as Web and Internet is also excluded. There are also embedded software, such as Cisco Routers, and Fortra programming languages because it appears before the start of modern calculations. The reason for the auxiliary design software AutoCAD is that the price is too expensive and failed to spread on a low price computer, so the impact on this area is almost ignored. Here is the top 10 software: 10th: Microsoft Basic (1976) This is a truly innovative software developed by Microsoft. Unlike competitors, Microsoft Basic needs users to purchase separately, so although it is not the earliest as programming language, it is the programming software for the first packaging sales. Microsoft Basic leads the arrival of the modern programming era, and it also makes "unpacking authorization" (unpacking authorization terms refer to software developers to limit consumers only within a certain license for software products). One concept is popular in the programming field. Ninth place: Sendmail (launched in 1983) may not be appropriate to include Sendmail in this leaderboard, because many people will first see it as an agreement.

Almost all browsers are based on the principle of MOSAIC browsers. Third Cente: Apache (Apache, 1995) Here, Apache actually includes open source project projects such as Apache, Linux, MySQL, and PHP, which combines with the weapons developed by the website, and also It has a huge threat to Microsoft .NET strategy. Apache Web Server Software fully demonstrates the maturity and security and stability of open source software.
