I'm surprised that no one has interpreted this feature as the simple sales tool that it is.

Processor: 7.5
Memory 7.7 Graphics 6.9 Gaming Graphics 6.9 PHD: 5.9 Overall (by lowest) 5.9. I actually think this is a pretty decent attempt to overcome the vast differences in hardware/software output and compile a general 'performance index'. I wouldn't mind seeing these levels stated on the back of game boxes etc 'must have WEI of 6 to play this game' etc.

I found some info on this if you feel your SSD drive score seems low. chk out post by elmo2006 about 1/2 way down thread. It did give me a good boost in that ssd score.

AARPRazorbacks, you think that someone who questions Microsoft's simplistic, and self-evidently flawed, 'rating' system is a troll do you? Ok, then find some links to knowledgeable outside sources that think it should be used as a tool for determining hardware/software compatibility.
It is a gimmick, and/or a way for Microsoft to boost sales. Anyone wishing to know what hardware is needed to run an application should look at the recommended specification, not at numbers pulled out of a hat.
