Disable More Features in Windows 7

Windows 7 is still in its beta
phase, and an RC release is just round the corner, but the earlier milestones versions already proved how faster Windows 7 really is than Vista and XP.
Last week, when Wndows 7 build 7048 got leaked, testers found out that they can disable Internet Explorer 8 in Windows. Similarly, you can disable more applications now.
This feature is also available in Windows Vista , but was limited to a small number of programs that could be disabled. Thanks to all the user feedback, Microsoft has added the following applications in the list that you can disable on the fly!
- Windows Media Player
- Windows Media Center
- Windows DVD Maker
- Internet Explorer 8
- Windows Search
- Handwriting Recognition (through the Tablet PC Components option)
- Windows Gadget Platform
- Fax and Scan
- XPS Viewer and Services (including the Virtual Print Driver)
Windows 7 fits in 8 GB disk space, but you can reduce it more by removing all the unwanted applications, thus increasing the overall OS speed.
