Sure. Software is...

"instructions that tell a computer what to do. Software comprises the 
entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the 
operation of a computer system. The term was coined to differentiate 
these instructions from hardware-i.e., the physical components of a 
computer system. A set of instructions that directs a computer's hardware 
to perform a task is called a program, or software program."

I sat laughing snidely into my notebook until they showed me a PC running
Linux. And oh! It was as though the heavens opened and God handed down a
client-side OS so beautiful, so graceful, and so elegant that a million
Microsoft developers couldn't have invented it even if they had a hundred
years and a thousand crates of Jolt cola.
