    hi guys,


    I have the 8gb ssd AA1 and i had to install a full XP pro on it because i wasn't getting anywhere trying to install TinyXP or my own nLited version of XP.
    Nevermind, i thought that an easy way to slimline XP could be to disable all the unneeded services. But what are they?

    I don't want to get it wrong so, here is what I intend to use my AA1 for:

    wireless internet browsing and downloading
    wireless file/folder/drive sharing
    email client (Thunderbird)
    calendar app (Sunbird)
    Games (light stuff: flash games and portable games only)
    Play music (Songbird)
    Play video (DVD isos, Divx & Xvid)
    viewing photos

    Oh, and I want to keep systeme restore.

    Thanks for your help!
