Unnecessary Windows Services

A nice website for all you Windows users out there:

I got this from the SecurityNow podcast I listen to...a nice explanation of what all the Windows services are and which ones you can safely disable (he has configurations for "safe", "power user" and "bare bones"). I tried the "safe" configuration this morning on my laptop and freed up 280 meg of active memory usage. Even if you have 2 gig or even 4 gig of memory, that's a lot.
