Well, surely theres a few things that can be changed that probably involve removing code, but stuff like a firewall, spyware/virus scanner, even UAC - those things require resources. Its not as if theres anything magical within vista that can alleviate the need for such things.
And as I said, those things have been around (minus UAC) since NT 3.51. Actually I'm not sure about the firewall either, but most of the hooks were probably there and the firewall itself (not the configuration UI) shouldn't require much in the way of resources to run anyway.
