you dont need all the services. and for some of us early addopters who have a high preformance laptop with only a 32 or 64 gig SSD driver space is everything. Also its not because it was neccessary, but it was because it could be done. and just like anyone here who has tried really alternative OS's (syllable, SkyOS, etc) its not for the reason of need, but more importantly its the desire to try something new. after all is it wasnt for that mind set there would likely be no linux
