Windows 7 was optimized to dramatically reduce the start-up time compared to its predecessor, and Microsoft is hard at work to boost boot performance even more with Windows 8.
It’s somewhat a common piece of criticism to call Windows bloated, including in reference to the start-up process, and all the services launched by the operating system.
On the newly launched ‘Building Windows 8’ blog, some users reignited the issue, pointing out that there are services loaded at boot for no reason at all.

Windows 8 running on a device equipped an SSD drive and using UEFI could offer users start-up times of as little as 6 seconds.

I would say it is ripples being made into waves. If users are unhappy with what they see as unecessary services, loading on startup, it is the easiest procedure in the world to disable them. Microsoft has no way of knowing what you will need and , naturally, loads the whole bundle.
