Someone has to be the fly in the ointment on this one :) I could swear that
Rick D's Tuning tips and http://ron.oglesby.com/2003OStips.xls both say
that for Win2k TS the foreground/background tuning say to opt for Background
Services??? Maybe with the improvements that came with Win2k3 that may have
definitely changed but then for Win2k is the tuning still background
services??

The other point to mention is that the OS - or more accurately, how it's
written - has become more intelligent and TS savvy.
In the early days, making a server OS behave more like a desktop OS (in
terms of thread quanta and application response) did require more tuning
- because it wasn't exactly the default modus operandi of the OS.
However, these days, the OS has more intelligence written in, and TS is
much less of an afterthought, so programs / foreground probably much
more accurately means foreground programs.
