I do remember Black Vipers Internet site from the time when I first installed Windows XP on one of my computers. His site was my number 1 resource to find information about all services of Windows XP and it helped me tremendously to disable unneeded services. The same guy did publish his “Black Viper’s Top 9 tweaks for a faster (and less annoying) Vista PC” about a month ago which is a very good read if you are new to Windows Vista and want to make the most out of it.

Why pay for a Microsoft Vista Tweaks Book if you can get a great book for free ? The guys from Tweakguides have created a 248 paged e-book in pdf format that contains information about Windows Vista that every user should know. The guide is divided into several categories including Memory Optimization, PC Security and Cleaning Windows. I personally would suggest to print out the guide - or at least the pages that you want to read and probably use on your computer.
