[Greenbuilding] FYI - Daylight Savings Time Change

[Rushd45]

You are right, it is an arcane issue and will be taken care of automatically by anyone that updates their computer, as long as the they have one of the MS supported OS... 

>From http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx -

"Microsoft will release a single global time zone update which will include changes for the United States DST change. This time zone update will also include changes for other related DST changes and time zone behavior and settings that will take place in 2007 or have taken place since these versions of Windows were originally released. It will include some changes that have previously been released as individual hotfixes (such as the Sri Lanka change in time zone offset) or have been individually documented in prior Knowledge Base articles."
