File-sharing bug in Windows 7

I think I just found a file-sharing bug in Win7.

I have a "gigabit NAS" (unsure of mfg). I created a share on it, and assigned it a UN/PW combo. That combo is the same as my login on my WinXP machine.

I have two Win7 machines, a desktop and a new laptop.

The desktop is configured with the same login UN/PW combo. I can also log into the NAS seamlessly.

The laptop, until recently, had the same UN, but no login PW. So when I click on the NAS share, it prompts me for a UN/PW. Typing in my UN/PW combo DOES NOT WORK.

But yet, if I assign a windows login password, again, I get seamless access to the NAS.

Win7 is BROKEN.
