      So did they mention DX9 when they were showing it?

                Yeah, that just leaves the "Why the hell did it really take you so long?" portion.

                    Actually, if you could read, the question in the thread was, 'why now'. Raydeus just derailed it into when.

                      Wasn't it brought to their attention that 90% of PC users used the unofficial windower and from that point on they decided to make an official one for everyone and lower the risk of 3rd pt abuse and felt that the upgrades that come with the expansion would be the best time to install it?

                      So yea, windower questions = answered imo

                        If we don't like something, collectively, if our hatred for it throbs like an abscess beneath every thread, does that mean that they're doing something right?

                          While this is nice for newer players or people who worry to much about "getting caught", I don't think that many of the people that already use windowed mode will be that thrilled. There are too many other benefits of the "illegal" way to make it worth it. (And I'm not talking about botting, speed hacks, etc.)

                            I see this as being the case. I wonder if SE is going to put out more than just a windower mode, ie add other features as well. I doubt it, but I still wonder.

                            Also, what, if any, punishment will be for people now useing the NON-SE version as there is no OFFICIAL reason to use it.

                              My guess, no and none.
