One of the advantages with a Mac is that the software is designed for the hardware so you are not chasing drivers for mainboards, disks, video etc. That is one of the things I particularly love about them.

The only drivers you may have issues with, although I never have, is for printers and cameras. These are all under /Library and if you know how to use *nix, open terminal and you can navigate to the directory and rm them.

The ability to changes things are there in OSX, things are just done the unix way.
