John: If all the PC makers could get together and establish a specific set of complete system benchmarks, with independent testing, then that would be good for the consumer. The end user could get a clear picture of relative performance, for the type of stuff they intend to do.

But the consumer might enjoy a set of benchmarks that were simple, clear, and actually said something about the product they were about to purchase.

Maybe Microsoft would be interested in doing something like this at some point? I don't know if you'd call them "independent" as such, of course&#133

It might give a new "boost" to the next round of OS upgrades, if Microsoft was able to present a higher scores in the standard benchmarks. (of course, that would require actually making the OS faster).
