Salut a tous.
J'ai ete sous win2K depuis environs 2 ans et j'ai essaye winXP depuis la beta 2.
D'apres ce que j'ai pu voir les problemes grave avec winXp viennent de mauvais drivers des rares ou peripheriques speciaux pas supportes mais surtout a des versions PIRATE mal gravee/crackee (fausse Pro, fausse corporate ...etc).
Personnellement etant adepte de win2k depuis sa sortie je ne regrete vraiment winXP car ya pas dire il est plus fonctionnel que win2K pour ce qui est du multimedia (imprimer, photos, video ...etc) ...essayer d'installer un scanner + scanner + imprimmer ...avec XP en 2 temps 3 mouvements c'est fait.
C'est vrai XP est plus lourd que Win2k mais il y'a moyen de le redre vraiment leger. On peut deja supprimer l'interface graphique mais il y'a aussi ceetains services a desactives qui s'enclenche au demarrage.
Je sais que je ne suis pas a plaindre question RAM mais avec l'interface graphique + tous mes softs installes (dont certains s'enclenchent au demarrage) je n'ai que 70Mo utilises sur 1024 au demarrage => en desactivant certains services inutiles.
voici un copier/coller de la descriptions des differents services:

Application Management ~ Used for Assign, Publish and Remove software services. If you can not modify your software installation of certain applications, put this service in to Automatic or Manual. BV Recommends: Manual
Automatic Updates ~ Used to check up to see if there is any critical or otherwise updates available for download. I choose to manually update due to the very long lag time from when an update is available and when WinXP reports it. Take note: Manual update via Windows Update web site Requires Cryptographic Services to be running. BV Recommends: Disabled.
Background Intelligent Transfer Service ~ Used to transfer asynchronous data via http1.1 servers. I am unaware of any applications that actually use this feature. Use FTP instead. BV Recommends: Disabled

ClipBook ~ Used to store information (cut/paste) and share it with other computers. I have never found enough need for this to allow this service to always be running. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Network DDE
COM+ Event System ~ You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry from "DCOM" complaining about not having this service running if Disabled. I am unaware of any application that uses COM+, but if set to Manual, many services report to it, so it will start anyway. Required for System Event Notification. Required if you want to run BootVis with the "optimize system" option. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
COM+ System Application ~ You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry from "DCOM" complaining about not having this service running if Disabled. I am unaware of any application that uses COM+, but if set to Manual, many services report to it, so it will start anyway. Required for System Event Notification. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Computer Browser ~ Maintains a listing of computers located on the network. This service is not needed on a standalone system. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Server
Workstation
Cryptographic Services ~ Mainly, it confirms signatures of Windows files. You may always get a dialog box complaining about uncertified drivers if this is disabled. Required for Windows Update to function in manual mode. I start it when checking, then kill it when done. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
DHCP Client ~ Receives a Dynamic IP address from your DHCP server. Required for ICS/internet client and also if you run IPSEC, disable on a standalone system or one that has a static IP address. BV Recommends: Automatic if required on your network, Disabled if not.
Dependencies: AFD Networking Support Environment
NetBios over TCP/IP

Dependencies: TCP/IP Protocol Driver
Error Reporting Service ~ Calls home to Micro$oft when application errors occurs. I personally do not like this. A waste of memory and resources. You can do it if you wish. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Event Log ~ Allows Event Log messages from applications to be viewed in Event Viewer. Always helpful to check out the Event Log to see what problems with applications are popping up that is "hidden" from the normal user. Windows Management Instrumentation also Requires Event Log Service to be running. BV Recommends: Automatic
Fast User Switching Compatibility ~ Unless you have many users on a system, you probably do not even need this service to be running. BV Recommends: Disabled

Dependencies: IIS Admin
Help and Support ~ Required for Micro$ofts online help documents. If you ever "attempt" to use Help and support, this service will be placed back into "Automatic." I try to avoid as much M$ help as I can... BV Recommends: Disabled unless you really want it.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Human Interface Device Access ~ I have no peripherals that require this service. If one of yours magically does not function anymore, set it to Automatic. Namely, scanners with function buttons (fax, copy) or even a keyboard with volume or play controls. BV Recommends: Disabled unless you really need it.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
IIS Admin ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Usually used in conjunction with local web site or FTP servers. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled unless you really want it.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Security Accounts Manager
IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service ~ Used for that cool "drag and drop" CD burn capability. You will need this service to burn CD's. The good news? If set to Manual, the service starts and stops itself when used with some software packages. Practically the only service that does do this! If you still can not burn a CD with it on Manual, switch to Automatic and feel safe that it will only be used when "needed." BV Recommends: Disabled unless needed, then Automatic.
Indexing Service ~ This has always and forever been a major resource hog. I never recommend having this service enabled. Remove the function via the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs.) BV Recommends: Disabled or even better, uninstalled.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Internet Connection Firewall and Internet Connection Sharing ~ Used to allow multiple computers on your network to access the internet via only one account. This service is installed on the "modem" computer. BV Recommends: Automatic if using this function, Disabled if not required.
Dependencies: Application Layer Gateway Service

Dependencies: Logical Disk Manager
Plug and Play
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Message Queuing ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. May be used on some domains, but the "average" home user will never need this service. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: Distributed Transaction Coordinator
Message Queuing access control
NT LM Security Support Provider
Reliable Multicast Protocol driver
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Server
Message Queuing Triggers ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Required if you use Message Queuing service. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: Message Queuing
Messenger ~ Sends messages between clients and servers. Not needed under normal "home" conditions. This has nothing to do with MSN Messenger. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: NetBIOS Interface
Plug and Play
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Workstation
MS Software Shadow Copy Provider ~ Used in conjunction with the Volume Shadow Copy Service. M$ Backup uses these services. You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if Disabled. I have yet to find a side effect, though... BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Net Login ~ Used for logging onto a Domain Controller. View the "Proof" here: BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Workstation
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing ~ Enables a user to access your computer using NetMeeting. This may create a BIG open door for the unwanted. If you are paranoid about security, Disable this function. Even if you are not worried, I would still get rid of it. BV Recommends: Disabled
Network Connections ~ Required for managing network connectivity. Set to disabled if you have no network or you do not toy with the configurations a lot. If your internet connectivity is effected after disabling this function, set it back to Automatic! BV Recommends: Automatic if needed, Disabled if not.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Network DDE ~ I have not found a good use for this service. Unless you use remote ClipBook, Disable it. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Network DDE DSDM
Network DDE DSDM ~ Same as above. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: AFD Networking Support Environment
TCP/IP Protocol Driver
Network Location Awareness (NLA) ~ Required for use with the Internet Connection Sharing Service (server only.) BV Recommends: Disabled unless running ICS/ICF.
NT LM Security Support Provider ~ Not needed unless you are running Message Queuing or Telnet server. BV Recommends: Disabled unless needed.
Performance Logs and Alerts ~ Collects performance data on a schedule and sends the information to a log or triggers an alert. This may be a super geek tool, but I feel that the overhead associated with it is not worth the benefit. You decide. BV Recommends: Disabled
Plug and Play ~ The heart and soul of the Plug and Play environment. I do not recommend to disable this service, but if you want to, you are on your own. Take note: UPnP is NOT related to PnP. UPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers. Your sound card is PnP. Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service. BV Recommends: Automatic
Portable Media Serial Number ~ Retrieves serial numbers from portable music players connected to your computer. I have not really found a good reason to keep this service always running. I am not aware of anything that actually requires it. Disable it unless something of yours ceases to function properly. BV Recommends: Disabled
Print Spooler ~ Queues up print jobs for later printing. This service is Required if you have printers, even if they are network printers. If this does not fit your needs, Disable it. BV Recommends: Automatic if needed, Disabled otherwise.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Protected Storage ~ Allows for the saving of local passwords or even web sites information (AutoComplete.) This service is set to Automatic by default. Due to security reasons, I recommend leaving this "feature" disabled to make things all that much more difficult to steal vital information if you do not "save" it. If you disable this service, you will no longer have any of your passwords saved, no matter how many times you click the box. If you enjoy having your passwords saved in applications like Outlook or Dial up networking, set this service to Automatic. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
QoS RSVP ~ Provides traffic control on a network using IPSEC and applications that support QoS, plus have an adapter that supports it. The QoS Packet Driver is installed by default on any TCP/IP connections. I recommend uninstalling it if it is not needed on your network. I have also read that this adds about 20% overhead to your network bandwidth. Being a super geek, that is not acceptable. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: AFD Networking Support Environment
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
TCP/IP Protocol Driver
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager ~ Creates a connection to a network when a program requests a remote address. This service may be Required for your internet connection. If things cease to function after disabling this service, put it to Automatic. BV Recommends: Disabled unless required for your internet connection.
Dependencies: Remote Access Connection Manager
Telephony
Remote Access Connection Manager ~ Creates a network connection. This service is Required if you use Internet Connection Sharing. This service may also be Required for your internet connection. If things cease to function after disabling this service, put it to Automatic. BV Recommends: Disabled unless required for your internet connection.
Dependencies: Telephony
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager ~ Manages and controls Remote Assistance. If you do not want or need to use this feature, Disable it. BV Recommends: Disabled unless using it.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) ~ This service is rather Vital. Just about everything depends on this service to be running. This is also the only service that you can not disable via the Services MMC. BV Recommends: Leave it on Automatic.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator ~ Manages the RPC name service database. I have not found a reason to keep this service running. If something on your network breaks after you disable this service, put it back to Manual or Automatic. BV Recommends: Disabled unless required for your network.
Dependencies: Workstation
Remote Registry Service ~ This is one of those not needed services. One of the first I disable. If you are paranoid about security, disable this service. Even if you are not or do not care, disable it anyway. BV Recommends: Disabled
Removable Storage ~ Used for managing removable media. Disable this service if you do not have items like tape backup devices, etc. If your CD ROM/DVD Drive starts acting funny, place this service into Automatic. Normally, this service is not needed. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
RIP Listener ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. If you do not know what it is, you do not need it. 
BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Routing and Remote Access ~ If you do not know what it is, you do not need it. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: NetBIOSGroup
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Secondary Logon ~ Enables starting processes under alternate credentials. I have never found a reason to keep this service running. I have always considered "Alternate Credentials" someone other than ME! Not my idea of fun... BV Recommends: Disabled
Security Accounts Manager ~ Like Protected Storage, it saves security information for local users. This service is Required for IIS Admin. BV Recommends: Disabled unless needed.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Server ~ Used for file and print sharing from your computer or if you use Message Queuing. Workstation is needed to connect to another computer that has the files you are looking for. For security purposes, you may Disable this service if you do not require local printers and files to be shared across your network. IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK AFTER DISABLING THIS SERVICE, PUT IT BACK TO AUTOMATIC. BV Recommends: Disabled unless needed.
Shell Hardware Detection ~ Used for the auto play of devices like memory cards, etc. Also, set to Automatic if you are experiencing problems with laptop docking stations. BV Recommends: Disabled unless needed.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Supports the use of a local (outbound) email server. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: Event Log
IIS Admin
Simple TCP/IP Services ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Supports some old school UNIX networking services. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: AFD Networking Support Environment
Smart Card ~ Supports the use of a Smart Card for local or network computer authentication. If you do not have a "Smart Card," or you do not know what a Smart Card is, you do not need this service running. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Plug and Play
Smart Card Helper ~ Supports the use of a Smart Card for local or network computer authentication. If you do not have a "Smart Card," you do not need this service running. BV Recommends: Disabled
SNMP Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Supports the use of networking equipment that use SNMP as a mode of management. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: Event Log
SNMP Trap Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Supports the use of networking equipment that use SNMP as a mode of management. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: Event Log
SSDP Discovery Service ~ Used to locate UPnP devices on your home network. Used in conjunction with Universal Plug and Play Device Host, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network. For security reasons and also for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, Disable this service. If any EXTERNAL device does not function as a result of this service being disabled, place it back in to Automatic. Take note: UPnP is NOT related to PnP. UPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers. Your sound card is PnP. Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service. I know that not even Micro$ofts own XBOX uses this Service... BV Recommends: Disabled for security reasons.
System Event Notification ~ Used in conjunction with COM+ Event System, this service notifies particular services when system events, such as logon and power events occurs. I doubt the the average user really cares about this. I have also not seen any applications that use this. You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if Disabled. I have yet to find a side effect, though... BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: COM+ Event System
System Restore Service ~ Creates system snap shots or restore points for returning to at a later time. This is the OTHER service that is a massive resource hog. This is the FIRST thing that I get rid of on a clean installation. If you use this and enjoy it, good for you. I never will. I feel it is faster and less hassle to just install clean. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Task Scheduler ~ This service is used to schedule maintenance, M$ Backup sessions or maybe even Auto Update. I do everything manually, so as to avoid having this service running all the time. Some third party software may require this service to be active for automated functions, such as Virus Scanners, system maintenance tools, and automatic patch/driver lookups. Take note: BootVis Requires Task Scheduler and COM+ Event System to be running if you wish to take advantage of the "optimize system" function. Why? It is due to the pre-fetching function built into WinXP. Another Note: Pre-fetching only occurs on boot up, so if you do not care about a few extra seconds of boot time, do not even bother with it and disable Task Scheduler. BV Recommends: Disabled unless using the applications listed above.
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service ~ Legacy support for NetBios over TCP/IP. If your network does not use NetBios, disable this function. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: AFD Networking Support Environment
NetBios over TCP/IP

Dependencies: Print Spooler
TCP/IP Protocol Driver
Telephony ~ Controls telephony devices on the local computer. This service is Required for dial-up modem connectivity. BV Recommends: Disabled, Automatic if you require dial-up connectivity.
Dependencies: Plug and Play
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Telnet ~ Allows remote login to the local computer via the telnet function. For security reasons, this service should be Disabled unless you specifically require its functionality. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: NT LM Security Support Provider
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
TCP/IP Protocol Driver
Terminal Services ~ Allows remote login to the local computer. This service is Required for Fast User Switching, Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance. For security reasons, this service should be Disabled unless you specifically require its functionality. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Themes ~ Used to display all those pretty new XP themes and colors on your desktop. If you are memory conscious and do not care about the "new" XP look, disable this service to save RAM. BV Recommends: Disabled
Uninterruptible Power Supply ~ I have not found a need for this. My UPS that connects via USB, does NOT need this service to run. Windows Update also has a "patch" for this service. BV Recommends: Disabled
Universal Plug and Play Device Host ~ Used in conjunction with SSDP Discovery Service, it detects and configures UPnP devices on your home network. For security reasons and also for the fact that I doubt that you have any of these devices, Disable this service. If any EXTERNAL device does not function as a result of this service being disabled, place it back in to Automatic. Take note: UPnP is NOT related to PnP. UPnP is used for connectivity on networks via TCP/IP to devices, such as scanners or printers. Your sound card is PnP. Do NOT Disable Plug and Play service. I know that not even Micro$ofts own XBOX uses this Service... BV Recommends: Disabled for security reasons
Dependencies: SSDP Discovery Service
Upload Manager ~ As with BITS, this service manages file transfers between clients and servers on the network. This service is NOT required for basic File and Print sharing. I have yet to find a need for this service. If you are comfortable with using FTP, stick with it. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Volume Shadow Copy ~ Used in conjunction with the MS Software Shadow Copy Provider Service. M$ Backup uses these services. You will receive, in the Event Log, a entry complaining about not having this service running if Disabled. I have yet to find a side effect, though... BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
WebClient ~ I have not found a reason to have this service running. For security reasons, I recommend for this service to be Disabled. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: WebDav Client Redirector
Windows Audio ~ This service is Required if you wish to hear any audio at all. If your computer does not have a sound card, Disable this service. BV Recommends: Automatic unless you do not have a sound card, then place it in Disabled.
Dependencies: Plug and Play
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) ~ Used for some scanners and cameras. If, after Disabling this service, your scanner or camera fails to function properly, enable this service. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Windows Installer ~ This service is required for software applications that install using MSI files. If no applications that you have will install properly or you get an error that involves "RPC Service," place this service in to Automatic or Manual. Only disable this service after you have completed installation of your applications. Mainly Office and such. I am not aware how many Games actually use MSI Files. BV Recommends: Manual
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Windows Management Instrumentation ~ This service is Required if you want to see the "Dependencies" tab in service configuration and you want everything to go smoothly. I do not recommend Disabling this service as strange things may start to happen. BV Recommends: Automatic
Dependencies: Event Log
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extension ~ Not as vital as Windows Management Instrumentation, but I recommend leaving this service in Manual. BV Recommends: Manual
Windows Time ~ Automatically sets your clock by contacting a server on the internet. Great idea if your network is always connected to the internet, but otherwise, the Event Log fills up with "can not find server" messages. After successful synching, this service will not attempt to do it again for 7 days...meanwhile, taking up resources. You may also need Task Scheduler running. I set my clock manually. BV Recommends: Disabled
Wireless Zero Configuration ~ Automatic configuration for wireless network devices. If you do not have any wireless network devices in use, Disable this service. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: NDIS Usermode I/O Protocol
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
WMI Performance Adapter ~ I have not found a use for this service. BV Recommends: Disabled
Dependencies: Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Workstation ~ Used to connect local computer to remote computers. Examples: Internet connectivity and local File and Print sharing. Many services depend on Workstation to be functioning. Leave it on Automatic. BV Recommends: Automatic
World Wide Web Publishing Service ~ Not installed by default, but if needed, you may install it later off of the WinXP CD. Used for setting up a local web server. If you do not need this function, leave it uninstalled. BV Recommends: Leave not installed or Disabled
Dependencies: IIS Admin
