Services v. 'Component Services'

[Terry Pinnell]

Under Control Panel>Administrative Services on this XP Home PC there
are entries called 'Services' and 'Component Services'. What is the
distinction between these please? They seem to display identical
contents. In both of them I get the same problem in Properties for any
service, namely seeing 'No Dependencies'.

Component Services = comexp.msc = Configures and manages COM+ applications.
[[With Component Services, administrators can deploy and administer
Component Services applications through a graphical user interface or
automate administrative tasks by using a scripting or programming language.
Software developers can use Component Services to visually configure routine
component and application behavior, such as security and participation in
transactions, and to integrate components into Component Services
applications.]] Related to COM+ and DCOM.

Services = services.msc = Starts and stop services.
[[Services helps you manage the services on your computer, set up recovery
actions to run if a service fails, and create custom names and descriptions
for services so you can easily identify them.]]
[[A service is an application type that runs in the background and is
similar to UNIX daemon applications. Service applications typically provide
features such as client/server applications, Web servers, database servers,
and other server-based applications to users, both locally and across the
network.]]
