    Wow, a nearly worhless score has become truly worthless. Earlier there were some, minimal merits, to the score. Now it doesn't have even that.

    Gosh. Almost as exciting as renaming your program files folder to "definitely not program files". Or perhaps renaming the shortcut to notepad.

    pitabred: lol, kinda appropriate. Gosh, we can stick a new number on the same score...

    Heh heh, this XML butchering has been around for awhile. While it would be fairly pointless to war over the best scores, it does present the amusing awareness of just how mundane the WEI application really is....

    On a side note, I'm not sure if this can be used to "force" Aero on machines that normally would fall below the 2.0 score (as I've not had the opportunity to test it).......
