Talk:Windows System Assessment Tool

Service pack 2
Could this be updated for vista sp2? I think it's still a 1 - 5.9 scale, but not sure. 121.98.212.178 (talk) 15:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Without Vista?
Is there any way to run this tool on a Windows XP system without actually installing Vista? E.g. can you launch it from the Vista DVD somehow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.220.185 (talk) 18:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Really exclusive to Vista Ultimate?
What is it about this tool that makes it exclusive to Vista Ultimate? I have seen this under both Vista Business and Vista Enterprise too. -- Northgrove 00:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Its in home premium too.

10 Requirments
Could someone list the basic system requirments to get a 10 i heard Just having one 8600GTX is enough to experiance full vista.
 * Currently the highest score possible is a 5.9 As hardware advances, Microsoft intends to increase the max number, but your number will not change without a change in hardware.--Ryudo (talk) 22:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The vista rating site listed in External links has some devices registering 7 as of today --Elven6 (talk) 18:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Intel Graphics and WinSat
It was my understanding that Intel integrated this technology into their drivers around the time Windows Vista was set to come out. This was to allow Aero to run in special circumstances in which it wasnt allowed to previously run before. JasonHockeyGuy (talk) 19:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

The WEI and hardware / software requirements
It's alright if you're going to use hardware / software stating a minimum WEI number with Windows Vista / 7, but what if I want to use it with earlier versions? Or my Linux box? Or my MacBook? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.210.150 (talk) 18:47, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Vendors using WEI
Could we make a new page for vendors that use WEI as an indication of system requirements and use that as citation? The list would have to include manufacture, product and a source of info for that product (i.e. Manufacturer's product page) --Avitus27 (talk) 21:48, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Does the WinSAT/WEI API still exist in Windows 8.1?
The article mentioned that the command-line version of WinSAT still exists in Windows 8.1 but nothing about the API, is it still there?
