I was directed to this article which suggests that Windows Vista "scales" itself based on the WEI data. Another person claims that OZC is suggesting you run WEI after updating firmware. So now I'm wondering if there really is any value to running WEI?
If it does create changes, why are we not prompted to run WEI every time Windows detects new hardware?
I'm not convinced it does anything at all and is just a BS marketing/benchmarking tool, but I'm hoping someone here can enlighten me. When I asked what changes it makes, the poster pulled out the old NDA card from his sleeve and I'm not buying it. If that were true, wouldn't all the professional reviewers have to run WEI on their testbeds for every test run? I've never seen a review that even mentions WEI.
What do you guys think?
