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.

No OS should be allowing anyone access to write into that file. And the EVE programmers should have paid some attention to the QA part of their development process. People moan about Vista's UAC, but this highlights the need for something like this.
