Is there a list of services turned off by your svc

what is the os? I tell people to avoid that option all the time, if you enable the correct services then your bootup time should be still fast.

how would it be unfair to tell us? i don't get that. with out knowing what we are getting we are buying something blind, and how would we really know it is better for us or woth the money with out the info?

also how much better was that system?was it negligible, minor, mediocre, high, or very high? a exact answer would be better though.

is this something that you can recommend to a user who would not know what to turn back on if needed? yes you can wipe the os and start fresh but then all your data is well... done... gone... finished.

i don't mean to attack you in anyway or seem rude or offensive. but he asked a honest question and it should be answered.

i understand that this list may deter people from purchasing this product you offer. yet on the other side of the coin it will draw people in who may not have thought the extra $35 was worth it until they learned what they got.

just the phrase "os tweak" will drive the uneducated (not very knowledgeable with computers) people away because a lot of people are not willing to  have their os messed with since they do not know what they are doing and wont know what to turn back on if needed. with a published list they can turn back on what they need with out having to start over. on the other side of the coin if they know what they are doing then why would they pay for it when they can do it themselves for free.

i strongly feel this list should be published in the forums but only be able to be viewed by members. a knowlegable customer is a smarter customer who is a happier customer. so far this is the only thing that i have found at ds that they keep top secret.

tweaking windows will effect benchmarks, and overall performance. Plain and simple. Most tweaks are very minimal, but when you add them up, it does make a difference. Not much, but a difference.

Here's proof from a review of one of our systems by HotHardware that actually checked against our service to see if it really mattered:

wow i didn't mean to be aggressive sorry i didn't mean it to come out that way... i see your point that they can just do it for free with that list.

there has to be a way for this list to happen maybe or a variation of some sort as dst said phone or email or a pass worded topic. or maybe the customer can call or e-mail that person and tell them what the problem is and they tell them which process to re-enable.  the customer will then get the info to re-enable the process they need and will not have to start over from scratch.

i understand that this is someones job to figure out which processes are not crucial, and a public list would possibly make him/her no longer needed. if the customer can't get help then they have to start over losing countless hours of gaming on saves or countless hours of art work and countless ours of work. to a customer that is not very incentive to pay for a service unless it can be undone with out them losing everything.

there has to be some middle ground here that keeps you guys protected and that gives peace of mind to the customer that if needed things can be changed with out losing everything.

what article?
