    Beyond the fact that I don't see S-E allowing multiple simultaneous log-ins with a single account (see: no discount), the question of being allowed to run multiple simultaneous instances of FFXI on a PC is a red herring. Virtualizing a system capable of playing FFXI is trivial on a modern computer.

    It doesn't matter if you have multiple FFXI windows open or multiple VirtualBox/Virtual PC windows open, the result is the same.

    you are probably right about not being allowed to log in twice on the same account(this would be really nice), but the plan might still be to let us log in more than once on the same computer, possibly under the same process?

    My interpretation remains that it will allow us to access inventory/chat logs/macro palettes/maps through separate windows, versus all in the main UI screen.

    the point is to allow multple log-ins without having to use a program like windower or some other type of virtualbox/virtual pc program which S-E doesnt want happening
