Hardware/Software specifications make up Computer platforms i know that but my question should have been what's the role of a Computer platform to make it clearer i guess.
Or is it just there because those Hardware and software specifications sit on it?
Gosh, i feel like i'm in college again asking questions on the internet.

I think i get what you mean. It serves as a 'platform' for other programs etc to launch their operations or something to that extend.
No worries.
