I can’t say I agree with the decision of changing the daylight saving time (DST) in some countries. I understand the concerns with energy consumption, but after all the mess this change has introduced in computer systems, I bet we would have saved more energy by keeping DST unchanged.
Oh well, but now that all the harm is done (I hope), all we have left is to try to minimize the problems that occurred afterwards.
Microsoft released another cumulative update for DST. Here are the links:
- August 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems
- Update for Daylight Saving Time

Bharat has made an awesome coverage of the DST issue, so if you want to get more information, read his blog.
