I thought they might fix it quick, and they did. This patch, and one other, can be downloaded and installed via Windows Update.
What I didn't know was there was another bug also addressed by these patches.
The problem involved Remote Desktop and prevented you from connecting to a computer via Remote Desktop, I'm not sure if it bugged your computer trying to do the connecting or bugged the remote host that you were trying to connect to. Regardless, it should be fixed now.
The thing that I don't get is that I thought MS patches like this were tested through the beta program before public release. Perhaps they're just tested internally and their QA department slipped up and didn't do sufficient testing to catch these problems before they shipped.
Who knows. But at least they were prompt fixing it.
