I’ve already read the description of this service in windows 7, I was hoping for an answer in “english” not computer talk.

Well, to be honest we have no idea what all those programs on our computers rely do. We just get an description from microsoft and we must be leave that it is what they say it is.
We are not even allowed to do reverse engineering by some stupid acts, so we are not supposed to know what all those 250.000 programs on an standard windows installation rely do.

We must have trust in microsoft that they are honest with us….so help us god!
