Vista bugs and more bugs.

I don't know if this is bug week for me or what, but I hit another two bugs yesterday and today. First of all, I keep getting these long delays when trying to access the Documents folder on my Vista Business machine. I did some checking and after a few minutes came across a great post on Toms Hardware forums that has confirmed through Mark Russinovich's blog of a bug in Vista concerning this time out. It happens after 30mins of being logged in and if you have a machine that is part of a domain and offline. My machine is not part of a domain, but I'm sure I am suffering from some variant of this bug. Apparently the only fix is wait until Vista SP1. This is a pretty horrific bug!

As if this wasn't enough after my RAID fiasco I was also having a problem with an "Error Accessing Local Post" message coming up every time I tried to use Windows Live Writer on my laptop. So I can't even use the damn program to post to my blog. After some checking I found that this is also a bug in Beta 3.0. OMG! Is it a full moon or what? What is weird is that I don't have that problem on my workstation. I sent off an e-mail to the developer at microsoft, but more than likely I'll have to wait until the final release comes out to fix it.
