I'm assuming you mean the software such as Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Messenger, Mail, etc?
Start > Control Panel > Program and Features
On the side bar is an option to "Turn Windows features on or off" Here you can disable Gadgets and Games, and under Media Features are options for Media Centre, DVD maker and Media player.
Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Messenger, Mail may be listed here in Vista. I'm on Windows 7 so I can't be sure. (These programs are not included in Win7)
Windows Live is just a program, just as any other program. You can remove it in the software configuration screen.
And what other windows products do you mean?

You might want to try the pcdecrapifier pcdecrapifier.com for a simple solution once you have your admin authority– ColAug 29, 2009 at 16:14
Try sysinternals autoruns to turn stuff off when booting and see if it affects anything, then you can get rid of it.
