Some folks are hesitant to trust anything from Microsoft as they have a history of sending out updates full of bugs and Spyware.
Depends on OS, I think.

They've been pretty good with Windows 2000. If you like, you can manually change the daylight savings time change dates yourself, if you can find where that information is stored. Heh.
Windows, love it or leave it. You don't have one of those toy computers, do you now?

I am running XP, and for some reason the time didnt change for DST, but all the updates were done. The timezone fix did the trick though, thanks.

You would think with all of their global warming, someone would figure out that if you keep saving up daylight, sooner or later all that daylight is gonna escape and burn us all to cinders.

Has anyone noticed with earlier DST switch, in the northern states and on the eastern sides of the time zones it's still dark during the morning commute and a lot the energy we're supposed to be saving in the evening is being used to light everything up in the morning?
DST was first enacted by a national government for WWI. This poster shows how it was interpreted in the U.S.

At the time, many people in this country still grew their own food, and contributed to the war effort in that way. Now, it gives us more time to demonstrate against truly idiotic national policies in the early evening, and still have time for a couple hours' debate about it all at the local Starbucks.

"Get Your Hoe Ready" would also have a somewhat different connotation today, too.
