To use this quote......
Actually WEI isn't a marketing ploy/scheme; it's just been made that way by users. WEI's (Windows Experience Index) actual purpose is to......
What is the Windows Experience Index?measures the capability of your computer's hardware and software configuration and expresses this measurement as a number called a base score. A higher base score generally means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a lower base score, especially when performing more advanced and resource-intensive tasks.
In short it's a quick way to compare systems to one another. Say you're in the market looking for a PC, well you can use conceivably use WEI as a measuring stick to see how one computer compares to another.
However human nature being what it is says "I gotta have that high score or my system is a bust"...... OK :)
BTW I don't think this "marketing ploy" is benifitting Microsoft as much as say the hardware vendors - I don't see people buying Windows to get a better WEI score, I see them buying hardware - none of which Microsoft makes
Just some clarification :)
