The genius of Win7 is that they set formerly Auto services to Manual on fast triggers. So there is almost nothing (besides Tablet and maybe Offline files) which doesn't need to be running at the moment.
The exception might be networking services if you're not using those.
I previously lived by Black Viper's guides in XP and especially to tame pre-SP1 Vista bloatmonster. Not any longer, as Win7 has become the Black Viper.
