Yes, the real deal .

I got Business x64.

I looked around and I still get the same RAM as before. By the way, Group Policy isn't applied if SAM service is disabled.

What security policies?

I have the x64 version of Windows Vista Business and it's never going under 400MB of used RAM. I don't know how. I have only those services and it should be lower, but whatever... Application Information is needed by Aero, but why and how come? Aero works just fine without it.

What effects need Application Experience? Why not set it to manual and it will surely start if needed. SAM may be needed, set to manual. Event Log is just for viewing the logs, that's it. Protected storage is not quite needed. Network connections is just for viewing those, no need for Automatic. You're losing your tweaking abilities my friend . I have: -DWM for the nice looking Windows; -HIDA for my Logitech mouse; -NSIS & DHCP because I am not sure that my internet settings remain the same; -SL for Control Panel access. I see no downside in disabling WMI, but...

Man, just use the x64 edition. It was made for managing lots of RAM.

It seems not.

I can live without WMI, Application Compatibility, Application Management and Program Compatibility Assistant Service. Tom, why did you enabled these? I don't see the point of having the last three set to Automatic.

If you have Component Cache removed you can't install Vista updates.

Oh...OK then.

Keeping the core is always necessary though.

Mine 1,2GB.

What version 8, what version 9?

It could possibly work if you would have Aero theme installed.

How come it's working? Everybody has the same problem. Without Component Cache updates don't install. Have you tried checking for updates again?

I am not sure of how many of those fix any security holes, instead they add compatibility and improve stability.

I have Ultimate x64 and it's disabled.

This is used for Windows Mail amongst others along with Secure Accounts Manager. I keep themes enabled, because Aero interface improves performance and appearance and it only costs some extra memory usage. If you have 1GB or more and a decent processor I suggest to keep it enabled. WMI is one of those services that I do ot want to disable. I do not like disabling services, which can costs me a lot of time figuring out why an applictaioon wil not install/start. If it could be used/required and it start when set to manual, then I just let it be. I understand, but keep in mind that some services may automatically start even if they don't need to.

Mine doesn't. It's disabled and it stays that way.

What effect does Protected Storage have? I have it disabled and it's OK without it.

Do not disable User Profile Service, otherwise your user profile will not load correctly. I have tried setting it to manual and it was a pain in the a** as all the paths were broken. What happens when you set WMI service to disabled? Also, disabling COM+ disables Windows Update too?

But when can we expect the next version (even if it will not be final)?

Actually it's not... but thanks for checking... Anyways I already tried copying the x86 source to a directory and doing it that way... Perhaps it's just me. Well, Microsoft didn't released AIO, WinBeta did. That's what I meant. I didn't mean that you are using a pirated key or whatever. That one worked for me after I have copied the x64 folder from the DVD (from Source).

Well, that is a pirated copy of Vista and quite frankly it caused some trouble with CMD.exe. Second, copy the x64 folder inside of it if you want it to work, or the x86 one.
