When I studied IT in college my prof. made it simple for me:
"A computer "program" and an "application" (a.k.a. 'app') are one-in-the-same. The only difference is a technical one. While both are the same, an 'application' is a computer program launched and dependent upon an operating system to execute."
Got it right on the exam.
So when you click on a word processor, for example, it is an application, as is that hidden file that runs the printer spooler launched only by the OS. The two programs depend on the OS, whereby the OS itself or your internal BIOS programming are not 'apps' in the technical sense as they communicate directly with the computer hardware itself.
Unless the definition has changed in the past few years, commercial entities like Microsoft and Apple are not using the terms properly, preferring sexy marketing by making the term 'apps' seem like something popular market and 'new', because a "computer program" sounds too 'nerdy'. :(
正如 Saif 所指出的，“应用程序”往往更多地用于非系统相关的程序。话虽这么说，我认为将操作系统描述为一种特殊的应用程序并提供了运行其他应用程序的环境，这并没有错。
Without more information about the question, the terms 'program' and 'application' are nearly synonymous.
As Saif has indicated, 'application' tends to be used more for non-system related programs. That being said, I don't think it's wrong to describe the operating system as an special application that provides an environment in which to run other applications.
我使用术语“程序”来包括应用程序 (app)、实用程序，甚至包括 Windows、Linux 和 Mac OS 等操作系统。我们需要一个涵盖所有可用不同术语的总体术语。这可能是错误的，但对我有用。 :)
I use the term program to include applications (apps), utilities and even operating systems like windows, linux and mac OS. We kinda need an overall term for all the different terms available. It might be wrong but works for me. :)

我的理解是：
My understanding is this:
当我在大学学习 IT 时，我的教授。这对我来说很简单：
“计算机“程序”和“应用程序”（又名“应用程序”）是一体的。
唯一的区别是技术上的区别。虽然两者是相同的，但“应用程序”是启动并依赖于操作系统来执行的计算机程序。”
在考试中答对了。
因此，例如，当您单击文字处理器时，它是一个应用程序，如下所示是运行仅由操作系统启动的打印机后台处理程序的隐藏文件，这两个程序依赖于操作系统，因此操作系统本身或内部 BIOS 编程不是技术意义上的“应用程序”，因为它们直接与计算机硬件本身通信。除非
定义在过去几年发生了变化，否则像微软和苹果这样的商业实体并没有正确使用这些术语，而是更喜欢通过使“应用程序”一词看起来像市场上流行的东西和“新的”东西来进行性感的营销，因为“计算机程序”。 “听起来太‘书呆子’了。:(

“程序”可以像实现逻辑的“指令集”一样简单。
它可以是“应用程序”、“组件”、“服务”或另一个“程序”的一部分。
应用程序可能是协调程序实例的集合，以解决用户的目的。
A "program" can be as simple as a "set of instructions" to implement a logic.
It can be part of an "application", "component", "service" or another "program".
Application is a possibly a collection of coordinating program instances to solve a user's purpose.
我猜你的意思是系统程序和应用程序
系统程序使硬件运行，应用程序用于特定任务系统
程序的示例是设备驱动程序
至于应用程序你可以说网络浏览器，word porcessros等
i guess you mean System Programs and Application programs
System Programs makes the hardware run , Applications are for specific tasks
an Example for System Programs are Device Drivers
as for the Applications you can say web browsers , word porcessros etc
如果没有有关该问题的更多信息，术语“程序”和“应用程序”几乎是同义词。
