Superfetch is only one of the tenths of services I killed before trying some gaming. Killing software licensing was a mistake though. I couldn't validate my windows anymore and the control panel stopped working.

I'm thinking about doing a list of services like it was done for XP years ago. For those gaming on a budget or those like me that don't need all the crap that comes on by default...

Maybe it's too early, but I'll consider it. Don't know if there are differences between RC2 and the final version. Most definitely yes.

Between RC2 & Final I couldn't imagine that many things different with it
