The confusing - and key - part of Windows Experience Index's definition is the "base score". A score of 7 and above generally means a higher end computer, such as powerful workstations or gaming machines. Computers running Windows 8 should have a score above 5, due to the advances in technology that have happened in the meantime. Mainstream computers running Windows 7 should have a score of at least 4. A computer with a base score of 3.0 can run Aero and many of Windows's features at a basic level, but it might have issues running higher level functions, such as playing HDTV content or displaying themes at higher resolutions. Microsoft defines a computer with a base score of 2.0 as one that has the ability to run general computing tasks, but it would not be powerful enough to run Aero or advanced multimedia features in Windows 7 or Windows 8.
The Windows Experience Index is Microsoft's measurement of how well a computer can run Windows and, although it can be useful, there is a certain obtuseness about it.
