The operating system deals with files, printers, screens, memory, multimedia, network connections etc, hiding these details away from the user. Applications can then be run inside that operating system without the user, or the programming worrying about how to deal with these advanced topics. Eg. You use a web-browser to view HTML documents, and you don't see what the operating system is doing: ie sending messages across a network.
