2. Agenda A look at a consumers view of the PC experience
New ways to measure the PC experience
Tour of the assessment tools in the ADK
Customizing assessments to meet your needs
You’ll leave with examples of how to
Measure the PC Experience with the new tools provided in the ADK
Troubleshoot, tweak, and resolve issues that impact the PC experience

3. Customers judge the whole PC experience
Quality expectations are changing
Software + Hardware + Windows = PC experience
The way we measure PC quality must also change

4. System assessment in the ADK
Provides a new way to measure system quality
The ADK tools measure a PC’s quality attributes

5. Benchmarking doesn’t go far enough
Advantages
Accepted, and easy to discuss by techies
Used as part of certification or comparison
Widely adopted, especially in the press
Disadvantages
Provided with little context on how they’re created
A “black box” to users
Less useful in system engineering

6. System assessment basics
“System assessment” is a process that uses the ADK tools to measure and analyze a PC
Assessments are core functionality tests
Combinations of these tests provide additional measures of the entire PC experience
