To the first poster, as the Langa article says...

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/tasklist.mspx

tasklist.exe, which is a command-line utility that ships with XP by default and always has, has a /svc parameter that has always shown what services run on each svchost process. The only thing SysInternals Process Explorer does extra in this area is take the service names like tasklist outputs, and look up the Display Name for each service in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices

Seriously, Microsoft doesn't need to acquire SysInternals to be able to such a simple thing... anyone with 15 seconds of time and a little knowledge has been able to do the same for years without any third party tools.
