New Services Tweaking Guide for Windows Vista similar to the well-known BlackViper's for XP

Notes:
Safe:
Services that do not affect the user experience in any way. You should not even notice a difference when using these settings, but it is possible. Disables unnecessary services.

Tweaked:
Many heavy and most likely unused services have been disabled. This is much lighter than 'Safe'. Aero disabled, but Themes left alone, as many people will blindly run this without reading what services are gone, and will be surprised/angry to see themes disappear.

Minimal:
All services that are not necessary to every day use and windows update have been disabled. Themes is disabled, Aero is disabled, firewall disabled. This assumes you have your OWN firewall/AV software installed!
