Follow-up on EVE's Boot.ini Issue

Posted by Zonk on from the that-bootini-to-you dept.

Krinsath writes "CCP, publishers of Eve Online, have posted a Dev Blog detailing the circumstances leading up to the deletion of XP's boot.ini file, which was earlier discussed on Slashdot. The blog post has intimate details about how the mistake occurred (a new installer from their normal one), how they responded and what CCP has learned from it. While fairly dry, it is to the company's credit that they're being open about one of the more serious bugs to crop up in gaming's recent history."

    Finally, a benefit to Vista! Vista users like myself were 100% unaffected by this. It was awesome.
