This is a long set Apple policy and it makes 100% amount of sense to me.
"turn all the stuff on by defualt that may commonly be used, then if the advanced people don't want it, they can turn it off" this way you don't force dumb people to learn how to do stuff, you just force advanced people to have to optimise by turning off features.
I love this policy from Apple, it makes everything so incredicly simple.

However, if Microsoft does the same thing some people scream that the software is bloated. They scream that MS is adding stuff that hogs memory and is useless to alot of people. Those same people also scream that Microsoft is trying to control your computer. Advanced users can disable extra services installed by microsoft software the same way that they can disable the iPod service. That doesn't matter though because it is just so unspeakably wrong for MS to enable extra stuff by default.
How is enabling an iPod service by default any different? It isn't like everybody who uses iTunes owns an iPod.

Enabling services is one thing, preventing you from removing them all together is another!
I still can't figure out how to get Outlook Express outta my system.

Eh, fair enough about making things simple for the user... I think I see what Viper is saying though. All depends on who you're aiming the product at I guess.
Outlook Express, really? What windows version? I was messing with a 2000 installation not too long ago, and remembered people saying it was very difficult to remove outlook express, IE, WAB, etc, so I was expecting some resistance, but I removed them all (and a lot more) with no trouble (or extra programs) at all. What's with that? Is it more difficult for different Windows versions?

It isn't hard to remove Outlook express. I removed it a long time ago because I use Outlook 2003.
BTW, there is a difference between Outlook Express and the iTunes services. Outlook express only uses memory when you are running it. When it isn't being used it does no harm to resources.
