Out of the box, VISTA is 5x worse than XP for services that are not 
necessary for every type of user. Sure, in XP whenever I set it up there 
are still about 6 or so services that I always need to disable or change 
and lots of things to kill, but it is quick to do and always results in 
a clean system with about 18 processes in the task manager list.
Works perfectly well nearly every time.

UAC can be disabled somewhere in the USER account settings I think, but 
in my experience of VISTA, most machines compare to XP by having 60-70 
processes in the task manager list!! running from install. I can't be 
arsed even finding out what can be safely disabled from that mess.
