You cannot compare this by disabling a few services... You can compare it mostly by creating an extremly n-lite'd windows XP.

Cause nevertheless the services you disable, a normal windows xp loads _tons_ of drivers, which you do not need and cannot disable.

It also makes the size smaller (less bootup/hibernate time) and (correctly built*) more stable to (less components to fail).


*"correctly built" is very importnant, as it can also make windows motr _unstable_ if not done correctly.
