I know you guys probably think this is a dumb question and will wonder why i got the big purple one, but what exactly is the WEI for?
I've never seen any software advertised with minimum/recommended WEI score required.......??????
TBH, i don't think my experience with W7 could be any better, it's lightning all round and a lean and keen as the day i installed yet i have a WEI of just 5.7
WEI came out with Vista to help people find out if they had adequate hardware to run Vista.
Vista required fairly high end hardware when it came out, one of the reasons a lot of people don't like it. This was published to let people know if they didn't have the recommended hardware required to run the new OS. A lot of people didn't and are still angry at MS because their hardware couldn't run Vista.

Well I know on this machine, it came with Vista pre-installed, the thing that let the score down was having onboard graphics. This is still true now I have Windows 7 on the same machine.
It's mainly in the gaming score but as I don't play games it doesn't bother me in the least everything else runs fine so I'm not particularly worried about having a couple of low marks.

Nah, just got slow, so i thought a fresh install would be good for the systemSergio. Sounds like a typical week back during the beta.Today... I reinstall Windows 7 x64 on my laptop again (3 times now)
Today I've just finished a repair install - apart from a few drivers for occasional hardware.
Found some strange things happening and eventually tied it down - every entry in the task scheduler was missing
must have pruned the system a bit too hard

Guess everyone should experience it. You are close enough to our Alps. Go visit sometime.
Tis lots of fun skiing & snow boarding. Apres ski is wicked.
But gosh it's so cold [even when dressed appropriately] & can be so grey.
Give me sun & higher temps any day.
