Latest EVE-Online Patch Bricks Windows XP

This is an interesting article from Slashdot, so I thought I would post it here.  Check it out!

“CCP’s latest major patch to the EVE-Online client, Trinity,
comes with an optional DX9-enhanced graphics patch that dramatically
improves the visual quality of the in-game graphics through remade
models, textures, and HDR. It also has an unfortunate bug: the
incredibly stupid choice of boot.ini as a game configuration file,
coupled with an errant extra backslash in the installer configuration.
The result is that anyone who installs the enhanced graphics patch
overwrites the windows XP c:\boot.ini file with the EVE client
configuration file, bricking the machine on the next boot. Discussion
in a couple of forums threads is becoming understandably heated.”
