No Saving Time in Microsoft DST Patches?

,----[ Quote ]
| IT managers are feeling grumpy about Microsoft's preparations for
| this year's early daylight-saving time. If anything, the situation
| shines another glaring light on patch management problems, how long
| Microsoft supports products and how much longer businesses tend to

Microsoft customers melting down over Daylight Saving patches

,----[ Quote ]
| A number of users in the DST chat room are reporting problems
| getting their Blackberry servers and devices to sync up with
| their DST-patched Exchange servers. Others, in spite of Microsoft
| warnings to apply DST patches in a specific order, are running

DST change reveals stone-age OS routines

,----[ Quote ]
| While we await for the U.N., the clockmasters of the world, or someone else
| to fill this need for a central DST database, what is Microsoft's solution to
| all this?. They put their stellar defender blogger to babble. In a recent
| post, product manager Alejandro "OpenOffice is more expensive than Microsoft
| Office" Panicke said the firm "is working internally to create a new Time
| Zone that reflects the change, but as happens with everything, it will take
| some time.". No pun intended, surely. But really, as KLF said: what time is
| love?.
