![]() Equally bizarre, Microsoft has actually changed how it rates hardware since Windows Vista, so identical hardware components could actually receive different subscores on each OS, making Vista-to-Windows 7 comparisons impossible.įun fact: Microsoft's changing of the WEI score range to 7.9 is akin to Spinal Tap's Nigel changing his amp's volume level to extend to 11. In Windows Vista, this range extended only to 5.9, but Microsoft says it has increased the range due to the evolution of hardware capabilities in the time since Windows Vista was released. In Microsoft's bizarre rating system, components can achieve a score of between 1.0 and 7.9. Likewise, a higher-scoring component on one PC likely performs better than a lower-scoring component on a second PC. In general, a higher-scoring PC will perform better, overall, than a lower-scoring PC. ![]() As such, each key hardware device in the PC, including the microprocessor, RAM, graphics (for the UI and for more advanced tasks), and hard disk, is assessed and awarded a sub-score and the lowest scoring component is used as the basis for the system's overall WEI score. ![]() Microsoft debuted its Windows Experience Index (WEI) tool in Windows Vista as a way to measure the relative performance of the components in your PC. ![]()
