Windows Experience Score – Win7 RC Vs Win 7 Beta

When I checked the Windows Experience Index shortly after I had upgraded to the Win 7 Beta back in January  I had a score of 2.0

However after checking following my RC1 install on the same machine with the same hardware (Toshiba Tecra M7) It has increased to 3.4 .

Which is better than when the same machine was running Vista.

I have not read of any major changes between the Beta and RC with how the Windows Experience Score is calculated, although I recall there being differences between Vista and Win 7.

What’s your score? and have you seen a difference between Beta and RC?
