SE knows about windower they even said it in an interview. As far as plugging the leaks, windower and most of its scripts and plugins use memlocks and simple keyboard commands to execute their tasks so SE would have a really hard time stopping windower completely. Every update the memlocks change (for things like .dat swappers) so people just change the memlocks on the program. Windower cannot be completely done away with by no means and 1) SE realizes this 2) SE realizes that over 90% of their player base uses it 3) SE would go under if they banned all windower users {Which btw they would have to ban users of this site too since they were programmed by pretty much the same people}. I love windower. Being able to swtich between it and AIM, explorer,xfire easily is amazing. Also, the ingame graphics are smoother >.>
Oh I’m sure it’s possible to prevent Windower, the question is it financially practical to spend the time and resources to stop Windower. Neither of us could answer that question though, as we know nothing regarding the source code for FFXI. I pray one day SE comes to it’s senses and starts it’s crusade to block Windower.
