I'm not sure how you could Alt+Tab while running EQ from 1999-2001 and come back into it successfully without using EQwindows.

That is the whole reason people printed binders full of maps and item stat lists or used a second box to look stuff up while playing, because you couldn't access any other programs.

2002 EQ Druids thread talking about multi-monitor set ups not working without EQWindows, not being able to ALT+TAB. http://thedruidsgrove.org/archive/eq/t-1876.html

Yes I remember taking special interest in this being a programmer at the time. Microsoft threatened to pull the windows compatible 'logo' because eq took control of the pc at the hardware level and refused special key combos return control to windows.

They said they did this to avoid hacks but MS said tough. It was all over the forums when they finally caved. I don't remember the exact date but as always you gots proof.

That guy is just misremembering either the timeline or that he used a third party tool.
