Daylight Savings
By Nick Hodge | September 4, 2008
Microsoft customer? Read this.
As Mike Seyfang would say: been there, done that. And it should just work(tm)
The last thing we want is the cows fading in the sun due to the daylight savings.

Since the previous Federal Government announced the time change to April from March in August 2007, I'm convinced Microsoft NEVER got around to have the patch for XP and Vista SP2 (KB951072) downloaded in the monthly upgrade BEFORE March 2008, certainly domestic machines. Maybe the Howard Government had a few problems of its own at the time. I heard so many people say their computer changed time, even mine and I am especially procative to such things, in March - one month premature and a lot of mobiles as well. I have a cross to bear against Microsoft (and of course Mr Howard) for COMPLETELY screwing up the DST date change in March 2008. Ideally I would have liked Microsoft to apologize to the decent citizens of New Sales Wales and Victoria for this screw-up. But that was never going to happen.

I, on behalf of Microsoft, apologize to the citizens of Australia for our stuffed up daylight savings systems in Windows and other products.

Sooooo glad I don't have to deal with that shite any more. Why oh why oh why do software developers continue to bury transient information in each and every device. Stick it in the cloud and test for what's changed each time you get a connection.

Yeah. It worked this time the way it is supposed to. Worth waiting up for. 1:59:58, 1:59:59, 3:00:00 right on cue. Ahah wait iPod changed OK but not my HP Ipaq even after a sync. HP rubbish? I want a new PDA anyway with Windows Mobile 6.0, maybe a HTC Diamond or Touch Cruise?
