What are Vista essential services

As a former data protection professional, I have always lived by the addage that the first thing you want to do to secure a system is to turn off all non-essential services. Msft has always been famous for not giving very good descriptions of their services. Phrases like "required for system to function" are common.

Can anyone provide a realistic list of Vista services and what they actually do, so a user can determine if they are needed for the type of operation they are doing?
