about the boot.ini issue

,----[ Quote ]
| Shortly after releasing EVE Online: Trinity at 22:04 GMT on Wednesday, 5 
| December, we started receiving reports that the Classic to Premium graphics 
| content upgrade was causing problems to players by deleting the file C:
| \boot.ini, which is a Windows system startup file. In some cases the computer 
| was not able to recover on the next startup and would not start until the 
| file had been fixed. In this dev blog I want to tell you how this happened.     
| 
| In the weeks leading up to the release of Trinity, one of our concerns was 
| how to deliver this update to our players in a very short amount of time and 
| to players that might not all have a good internet connection. Significant 
| effort was therefore put into making the Classic to Premium graphics content 
| upgrade as small as possible at various stages in the process.
