  1. Thanks for the tips. Is it safe to remove the majority of stuff from the Scheduler? I found this site which was quite handy: http://www.speedyvista.com/services.html I downloaded the VistaTweaked.bat and changed a few values to re-enable Aero, Firewall, connection detection and Update and disabled Search.
  2. Is it 100% true that if you remove any components from Vista, future service packs will be uninstallable? I read here: http://www.leog.net/fujp_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12465 that you can remove the language packs and SP1 will still install normally. If that is true, would it extend to any other bulk on the disk, like the non-essential bundled drivers? Off topic now, but is there any chance of a xlite'd / hacked SP1 install that would work on a vlite'd system, such as a modularisation into individual hotfixes and a loader that will abort any failed components? Or the possibility of a similar thing for SP2 in the future?
  3. In the articles online the 17-20% performance difference was benchmarked with things turned off in Vista and things turned on in Server 2008 (essentially the "Workstation" setup) to make sure they were running the same programs and services. If it is just as simple as disabling some services and changing some priorities to get Vista to perform the same as Server 2008, would it be possible to create a patch or how to to change the Vista settings to that of Sever "Workstation" 2008?
  4. "And if it is acting faster than SP1 then it is just because of some priority tweaks, nothing that gave you performance for nothing. See in SP1 is there a background/foreground priority switch and compare to Server setting." In the articles online the 17-20% performance difference was benchmarked with things turned off in Vista and things turned on in Server 2008 (essentially the "Workstation" setup) so that they were running the same programs and services. If it is just as simple as disabling some services and changing some priorities to get Vista to perform the same as Server 2008, would it be possible to create a patch or how to to change the Vista settings to that of Sever "Workstation" 2008?
  5. What are the major resource hogs in Vista? Or is it just the sheer number of background apps/services? If I leave in everything that is red or says it is necessary for something else, will that keep fairly full functionality / compatibility with better performance?
