SpeedyVista is offering a similar list for Windows Vista and I suggest that anyone who likes his system clean, secure and fast is going to check the suggestions out. The list of services in Vista can still be accessed by typing services.msc in the command line.

The table of services has the following structure. It starts with the service name and an explanation of it. It then lists the status of the service in Vista Home, Vista Business and Vista Ultimate and finishes with recommendations for safe settings and tweaked ones.

All services link to additional information that list the dependencies and requirements which is a good way of checking if it is safe to disable the service. If another service that you have to use depends on the service that you want to disable you can’t do it.
