You're right except for one thing: nobody here was talking about altering frequency response. Windows loudness equalization is not equalization, despite the silly name. Ironically, I imagine Microsoft specifically didn't call it compression because most consumers only think of the other compression. Good grief.

If you're generally talking about "Loudness Equalization" then in many cases, it really is equalization. I don't know about anyone else, bit I've been talking generally about loudness equalization the whole time.

Well, you learn something new every day. In this case, it's yet another time marketers have completely diluted the technical meaning of terminology.
