Windows 7 Service Configuration Optimization

Once Windows 7 is installed, I reduced the number of services that start on boot up. To decide which services to stop, I walked through the list of services on BlackViper.com's page titled Windows 7 Service Configurations. since my work computer has McAfee for security and protection, I turned off more Windows security features than you may choose to do.
Click to see my settings: Automatic, Disabled, Manual

Note, Windows 7 is my choice of operating system for new hardware because of the difficulties with drivers on newer computers for WinXP. WinXP is still my choice of OS but I prefer spending my time using a computer than working our driver issues. And, Windows 7 is OK. With time and more experience, I am sure I will like it.
