Microsoft Released Daylight Savings Patch for Windows Mobile
|
|
"Congress has changed the dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States starting in 2007. Canada has adopted similar DST dates. These changes could cause clocks and Microsoft Outlook calendar appointments on Windows Mobile-powered devices to display incorrect times for March 11 – April 1, 2007 and October 28 – November 4, 2007 and again in subsequent years. You can find more information about the exact dates and potential impact in the Changes in DST section. You can prevent these problems by installing three Microsoft files on your device and/or PC"
Microsoft has just released an update for the changes coming to Daylight Savings Time. If you live in the US, Canada or Mexico, you'll need to head on over to this site and follow all the steps required to update your device, computer, and even Exchange. If you're running the latest and greatest then there is a chance that this won't affect you. Take the time and do this now before it's too late. You'll also want to test out the change when you have a chance. If you know of friends, family, or co-workers that use Windows Mobile and might not read this site (shocking, I know!), please pass this information along as soon as possible to avoid any problems.
My thoughts on all of this - I'm very disappointed in the way Microsoft has handled this change. We’ve all known about this for a long time now. There’s no reason for taking so long to release a patch. There is under 1 month to go before Daylight Savings kicks in and they’ve just now released the patch. That doesn’t leave much time for enterprise to test and deploy this patch to their work force. Especially if the work force is mobile most of the time.
