Test your Installs
Lesson for the day -- always test your installs. If you don't, this could happen to you.
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.
Oops.

The *funny* thing, is I started playing that game, the day that happened, before anyone knew it was going on.
I got lucky that I both only installed the regular client, but I am also running Vista which turned out to be immune to the bug.
I played for probably 2 hours before that notice started circulating, and I LMAOed when it did.
Eve-Online is a space-baced MMORPG where you pilot, build, and trade space ships, stations, and related equipment.
