Think ETM hit the nail on the head. My machine is 2.5 years old. Rips through anything I throw at it. 7.6 WEI score on processor is the lowest with the other 7.8-7.9. I'm tempted to build a new win8 machine and boost the processor from a first gen i7 to the ivy bridge and get a board that doesn't have a marvel SSD controller so i can get better write times (bottlenecked at about 260MB). But im thinking probably have another couple years to use it since the latest macbook pros still come in with a lesser WEI score. Just no need to upgrade hardware as fast anymore. And as far as software my win7 works like a champ. Ive seen win8 and its slightly faster than 7 with a few other restructured OS things that i like and they got rid of the glass and simplified the look which is awesome, but the little aesthetic stuff and speed increase isnt enough for me to upgrade and do a clean install.
