"We evaluated the security features of Windows XP SP2 on a test machine, following a clean install of XP Pro with no configuration changes and no third-party software or drivers installed. We installed XP with the NTFS file system, choosing all of the factory defaults, then patched it with each recommended security update including SP-1 (required), before installing SP2."

all i have runnimg is:
iPod Service (thx apple >:( )
Windows Audio
Plug & Play (why does win audio need pnp???)
rpc (run without it for some days but i can't live without copy/paste)
tcp/ip (with static ip/dns/gateway)
and the best is:
with such a config i'm at 99mb ram while watching avis, playing mp3s, chatting on irc and surfing
and i've never had a problem with virus/worms etc.
