I'm one of those technocrati that likes anything that isn't needed on a server or workstation to be removed. It makes troubleshooting easier, and lets face it; we all know there are loads of services running which are useful to some people, but not to me...
Removing Network Load Balancing Service from an adapter (not just removing the binding, but uninstalling it) gives you some of those little annoying "A service or driver failed to start" messages when you reboot.
Remove this irritation by chopping the relevant keys out of the ol' registry:
