My right answer would be "Can you define what you mean by product and by
application?"
Just because someone puts two words in a sentence doesn't mean that they
have a specific relationship to each other, that you have to instinctively
know the difference, or that the person asking the question isn't an idiot.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between creating help for a
software product and creating help for a software application (project)?
I was asked this question in an interview.
