assessment tool

OK - I give up.
I understand that there is a Vists Assessment Tool.
This looks at yout hardware and gives you a rating of how well your PC will perform when using Vista.
I have googled, searched on MS etc. etc (for ages!). Wouldn't you sort of expect it to junp out at you... But it didn't
Anyone know where I can download this tool from..
Many thanks, Roy

Yeh, I've been told that it causes too much problems than it actually causes. My guess is that their just working on it a little bit and trying to beef it up and then put it up again in a few builds time :o)
