It's not just because you've specified the wrong element name is it?

// Currently
$form->desc->textArea($result->SOFTWARE_DESC);

// Correct
$form->description->setValue($result->SOFTWARE_DESC);

Also, it's recommended practice to override the (empty) init method in
Zend_Form rather than the constructor:

class SoftwareForm extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
// Form initialisation as normal
}
}
