Yesterday, I had asked this question: What features are available in Windows 8 Single Language?

It instantly gathered a lot of downvotes, and later was put on hold, citing:

"This question is not about computer hardware or software, within the scope defined in the help center."

I fail to understand how it is not about software. I'm asking about features of a specific edition of an Windows Operating System. Windows 8 Single Language Edition is an Operating system, which is software.

Or is by convention the meaning of software something different on Super User?
