So it's all about benchmarks fighting benchmarkers, always on the lookout for a sponsor, and nobody caring anymore about their results. Traditional marketing just doesn't work anymore. It's over.

Pg 170 - there's a list of all of the services that are disabled/stopped - 24 in all.
Pg 224 - the section of the MS diagnostics report lists that provides a detail list of the services. lots of unneccesary "features".

I beg to differ.
When I ask for 2 external storage units of 14 drives apiece (DAS),
and they look at me like I obviously have no clue about their
intentions of a 3 drive RAID something other than 10 config, a
configuration that they can download just by showing them a link to
http://www.tpc.org/results/FDR/TPCC/dell_2650_261103_fdr.pdf
is most helpful.
But a nice, fat, multipathed slice off of their SAN is fine by me
too, just as long as I have enough internal storage to keep an
entire hot backup set on disk, along with a member for each redo
log, and a controlfile, just in case.

It's not only today... It's been like that for the last 8 years or so. Basically: "Have $$$? Will win" is the entire philosophy of all this TPC crap. It's not worth the paper it's printed on. Bears no resemblance to reality whatsoever, no matter how much "extrapolation" is done to justify it. The whole thing is an extravagant waste.
