Windows 7 is a 3rd party program. Realistically they're talking about bots, not logical things like Fraps/Controllers/Keyboards etc.

Turbo Controllers really does nothing but save you from manually clicking buttons/keys yourself, far from an automated process that the game is played for you while you're no where to be found, as in..bots like moetoy or w/e will run the synthesis, clear your inventories for you by running to NPC (or you station next to an NPC) and it'll play the game for you as long as you have adequate supply.

TCs just save you the trouble of hitting Standard/careful etc over and over lol.
