That's the impression I've gotten just from casually happening on the latest and greatest news re tweaks.
But you have to admit, for an obsessive kind of person who needed a "clean" Windows box in the early 2000s, it was pretty fun to see just how "trim" you could (a) make things look using just standard services.msc and (b) stick it in and break it off where Microsoft was concerned.
