Everything. I haven't been too active because of work and school, but I was really looking forward to Trinity. Mostly because of the graphics update.
Well somewhere about two or three weeks ago my desktop went down. Its going to take me all day to fix it, should I get the time to do so.
No worries, I've got a brand new laptop (gaming laptop since that's what I do professionally.)
Patch day comes, I first patch my older laptop (yes, I've got 3 of these actually) and poof... I'm wtf powned on that one by the boot.ini issue.
Next my new laptop... brand ******* new mind you... I've got Vista on it, so no worries about the boot.ini thing.
But, yeah, my brand new laptop can't run the new graphics! Awesome!
Now, I didn't complain about the gallente nerf or the drone nerf... because I was so excited about the graphics update I didn't care (I'm spec'd gallente.)
So now, what do I get from Trinity? I get one computer I had to spend an hour fixing, and a nerf to my race and weapons of choice. Awesome.
What else was there in Trinity? More missions? I'm a pirate, I don't run missions.
Ewar frigates? These things are useless, lets be honest, and I don't really ever fly ewar ships.
Heavy Interdictors? I am not a dictor pilot. so I could care less about this.
Tech 2 Battleships! Okay, we'll start seeing these in 2 months, never mind their projected costs, or the fact that it would realistically take 3 months for me to be able to fly one.
A better drone interface? Yippie. Its not that much better than the old one, tbh... and the drone nerf more than makes up for the benefit.
Essentially, I got **** on with this expansion. The only thing good that has come out of the whole thing is... the kill mail system. Guess what though, its buggy too.
Yeah for free expansions that break computers, won't run on some of the latest machines, and nerf everything you're all about.

Having watched the Trinity trailer I was stoked and didn't even mind so much the projected 24 hour downtime.
Fortunately I wasn't affected by the boot.ini thing because Eve is installed on my R: drive. Had I been hit by that it would have been Goodbye Eve because any company that hoses my PC and makes it unbootable would never see another dime from me no matter how pretty their product.
The Premium graphics were interesting, but nothing like what I had seen in the trailer. WTF?
I was annoyed to once again lose all my window settings.
I was annoyed by the changes to the Overview elements.
Then I ran into the show stopper: Opening additional Eve windows (I am accustomed to running seven), my PC locked up, requiring a forced power down and reboot. Not good. With subsequent experiments and many reboots I determined that I could not count on running more than two windows, if that, without crashing Windows completely. Even with going back to the "classic" graphics I had a failure with three Eve windows open.
I just spent $300 on a new, better graphics card with twice the memory (512 MB). Between that and CCP maybe fixing some of what's wrong, we'll see. I'll give it a few weeks. I have no interest in running Eve if I am going to be limited to one or two concurrent sessions on a substantially high-end 3.0 GHz Xeon 5160 Dual Core with 3 GB of memory and a high-end 512 MB graphics card.

well they nerfed lots of things. From some points of views, for about half a month all the 0.0 alliances will have a hard time surviving. At least until Jump Freighters come into effect...

Actually if the old beams were left alone I'd say the blue tint would look good and give T2 strips a visual distinction from T1 orange beams but yeah the pew pew pulse beam we have now is terrible.. 
Dislike the current squirt effect of the mining lasers (that's what it looks like to me anyway) and the removal of the calming wave-like sound it used to have, but that's about all I dislike. The rest is just awesome. As for color distinction: blue mining laser beams were in use for ice miners.

Mostly it's good, but some things are seriously screwed up. My own personal hatelist:
- hate the fact that the Eos was nerfed to oblivion and is now useless in any role
- hate the fact that the Gallente recons were made uttely useless (damps nerfed to uselessness)
- hate the fact that traveling in lowsec is about to become a nightmare (HIC focused infinite-strength disrupt)
But hey, I'll adapt. Switch to using Absolution as fleet command (better in every way to Eos), switch to using ECM (the new fotm and only powerful EW left), move from lowsec to highsec. Life goes on :)

Me is laughing at all the evil XP fanatics who said: "Vista sucks....."
i like everything about the new expansion but the best thing is that its free. What i hate most about this expansion? People like you who can't honor hours of work given away for free, for your community. I hate people starting whine and hate threads about things which are very good, why just can't you open a "like" Thread?

If you try to look at the info for something like your ship, fittings, a solar system, you have only one window open and you have to 'scroll' left and right through all of the windows.
Lets say I was unfamiliar with the stats on all the different smartbombs, and I wanted the best one for me right now. I would previously open an info window for each one and compare the stats and skills required. I could look across three windows and instantly compare them in multiple categories at once.
Now I could do that by switching back and fourth between 2 different ones, but if I am comparing 3 or more it instantly becomes more work than it is worth.
Also the selected Items Icons in the HUD are too small at the native resolution of my monitor (1920x1024) and there is no way for me to enlarge them.halfway between the old settings and the new would be fine for me.
On just an ascetic points;
I to dislike the new mining lasers, but I think they could be pumped up a bit to give you that big industrial feel. I am in a coveter running strip miners and my small railguns on my combat ships looks more impressive.
Also, the Amatar stations that I am working out of used to look like a cross between a space station and a cathedral inside. Now they look like they were designed my depressed mnmatar slaves and resemble warehouses. The generic industrial looking insides of the Caldari Stations now look positively cheery and hedonistic in comparison.

Okay 2 people have commented on it here.... single info window
How to fix it:
Hit escape
General Settings tab,
Generic Column
Uncheck the setting 'Try to use existing info window (if any)'
back to the way it should be
why they made this on by default I have no clue, but that's how you put it back
