Windows 7: Fixed Windows Experience Index?

[Ducky Spud]

I know its not a proper benchmark, but lots of people still tend to run it haha. Used to get quite rubbish scores if Im being honest, but just ran it on my install of Windows 7 Professional and managed a low of 7.3!

It normally ends up around 5.7 so have microsoft been messing around so it actually gives out more realistic results?

Are all those 5.9's running windows 7 or somthing else? I used to get lower scored like that but like I said, just installed a copy of win7 professional and its giving decent results lol
