Maybe they calculate it differently and maybe they have a different scale.
Vista and Windows 7 are two different products. Is it possible they act

The WEI index has been changed in Windows 7. The top "score" is now
7.9. The way certain hardware performance is calculated has been
adjusted to take recent hardware into account.
