The U.S. Congress just passed an energy bill that changes Daylight Saving Time in this country. Beginning in 2007, we will “spring forward” earlier in the year and “fall back” later.
Windows has a feature, enabled by default, to change the system time automatically based on the current DST laws. Is Microsoft planning a patch for this, hopefully one that can be pushed via existing patch management tools?
I’m assuming this will not be an problem for applications separate from the OS issue. What other operating systems will be affected? (Yes, I’m sure the open source community is already working on this. This isn’t a comparison of operating systems; please stay on topic.)
