Computer Appliance
What is the definition of a Computer Appliance?
A Computer Appliance is a software device that provides a specific range of functions that are generally run on a hardware platform of their own.
Conventionally general purpose operating systems were used to run all computing functions written as software applications. An end user would then buy a computer system, install an operating system or configure an existing operating system, and finally install one or more applications within the operating system.
