One of the main things the operating system manages is the memory. The operating system contains a memory manager, dispenses memory to applications, and keeps track of what is used. It also consolidates and defragments the memory and returns relinquished memory back to the pool of available memory.
The operating system uses drivers to match itself to the exact hardware that is in the system and to provide ways to use and manage the hardware.
The operating system uses the storage drivers to provide APIs to manage disk I/O, and it uses file system drivers to manage the file systems needed to store files.
