Windows7 ScoreOne small, but surprisingly useful invention that made its debut in Windows Vista and is continuing to make its mark on Windows 7 is the Windows Experience Index (WEI). This index was a quick way at seeing where the different components in your computer stood against the best possible scores available.

WEI was Microsoft’s way of solving this problem and also establishing a system for measuring a computers requirements for software and games.

The index essentially uses five categories and gives each category a score from 1.0 to 7.9. The categories include: Processor, Memory, Graphics, Gaming Graphics and Primary Hard Disk.

As some of you may know, I have been a Media Center users for years going all the way back to MCE 2005.

A lot has changed, some of which for the better.  Some of these changes have come in the form of Media Center Extenders.

For those of you who do not know about these little “gems” I will educate you.

Add the media center experience to all the televisions in your house, no need for computers in every room, small quiet easy to setup, full featured experience…..yada yada yada.

  • In theory it is a beautiful concept. One central computer serving your content to all of the screens in your home.
  • In reality, that is where the beauty and simplicity end, and the nightmare begins.
