How many Vista services are you running?

[umo]

After disabling unnecessary Vista services according to a few tweak
guides, my home computer seems to run fast, smooth and efficiently
with only about 38 services started. Is anybody running fewer
services.? Also, my total number of active processes in Task Manager
is 27.

He would have a job there - J, A and C all lived some hundred years before -
they were B.C.
T was A.D

What services you run will depend on how you use the system. What works for
one user, may not work for another.

Your best strategy is to study what each service enables you to do, as well
as what other services depend on that service, and then decide whether or
not you can do without that service. If your not sure, set the service to
Manual and then keep an eye on it to see if something starts that service or
just screams and hollers because it was changed.

Amen. A gamer will have a lot of services turned off, whereas an office PC
will have more. Personally, I run just what I need. Nothing more. I run a
few services that others don't, though. Folding@Home is a big one.
(www.hardfolding.com). I don't run Automatic Updates, or Indexing Service. I
do updates daily, though. Part of my daily routine. Some don't have a
routine, and just let the PC do it themselves. It's all handled
automatically...

You're right!
It was all fake.
