'''Windows System Assessment Tool''' ('''WinSAT''') is the codename for the automatic system optimizer/tweaker built into the Ultimate edition of [[Microsoft]]'s upcomingmost recent [[operating system]], [[Windows Vista]], as well as [[Windows Server "Longhorn"|Windows Server codename "Longhorn"]].

WinSAT works by running a series of tests, and giving each section a subscore (see screenshot). Your computer's base score is determined by the lowest subscore. For example, if the lowest subscore of an individual hardware component is 2.6, then the base score is 2.6. The base score is not an average of the combined subscores.
