RE: Windows 7 - optimisations?

I am running CMP2 on a windows 7 PC with optimisations that include disabling the services that give individual user logons etc. I think there are other benefits to be had with the better music handling capabilities of Vista/7 that go someway to negating the benefits of minilogon with xp but I cant back that up with any direct listening tests. If you want me to list the processes I have running on startup let me know. Most other optimisations are along similar lines to those used on xp but for my money the big changes were the power related mods rather than individual software changesie Linear power supplies and disabling USB in the Bios. Having said that my dedicated i3/h66 PC sounds better than my i5/h77 non optimised PC when both use ordinary SMPS power supplies
