Everthing in the startup tab of msconfig is technically optional for 
windows to operate.
Now looking at the system services is another story, although there are 
several you can safely disable and some that you can set to manual so 
they only turn on when you want.
Example: Wireless is on be default wether or not you have a wireless card.
