Plural of Software used when referring to countable collections of software.
Originally the result of a common language error frequently made by non-native English speakers, it is now increasingly common in the English speaking world as a whole. Thanks to our non-Anglo brothers and sisters in the trade many of us have now assimilated the term "softwares" & in the 21st century simply refer to "softwares" regardless of any other specifics. In the 20th century we would often use terms like "software products" or "software applications" in a commercial setting in order to indicate a collection of several discrete pieces of software, you can use "softwares" in all such cases.
There is an important distinction between the plural "software" (uncountable) and the plural "softwares" (countable). Softwares (countable) refers to finite collections of software products, applications, drivers, modules, scripts, algorithms, and other discrete pieces of software presented in any format and which may or may not fall under one or more more specific classifications as well. You could be a software developer but you may still refer to your collection of assorted projects as "softwares" rather than using more specific terms like "applications", "drivers", "scripts", etc - or the less specific uncountable "software" in which case it would not communicate whether you worked on one thing or many different things.

Get the You make my software into hardware mug.Free software does NOT mean that you do not have to pay to get it. Free software is a matter of freedom, not price. In order for software to be free, users must be able to run, copy, distribute (with a fee or without a fee), study, change and improve the software.
Do not confuse free software with open source software. Although they are very similar, the philosophy behind them is different. Free software is about ethics and open source software is about being practical.

It's pretty amazing that so many people illegally use proprietary software as if it was free software. Why don't they just use free software and avoid legal issues?

Get the free software mug.Beautiful people. Software crackers are those that in most cases produce cracks, keygens and patches for the latest and greatest proprietary software. They understand the risks and are aware they break the law, but they do so for the greater good, meaning programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office are available for torrent. One should always pay for software if given the chance, but... who's got £150+ for a digital office suite?
Software crackers mean that i can get all the software i need for my school coursework without having to fork out money i can't afford to do so.
