    About a couple weeks ago, when I reinstalled my Windows 7 Ultimate, I specifically remember one of the updates (KB979306) having to do with making sure that the Daylight Savings Time change went smoothly.

    Well...any/all of you that are running Win7 should check your clock...

    Isn't it "Spring FORWARD, Fall BACK"?? ;) - I know I lost an hour that day and haven't made up for it yet!
    I envy those that frequent here that aren't in a state/country that changes times twice a year just to get another hour of daylight for working hours.
    When I lived in Scottsdale, AZ, there was no time change, and I always wondered what it would be like - never having to change your clocks and gain or lose an hour twice a year; and I tell you, it was fantastic!

    I don't understand why the rest of the country (mostly) is still using this antiquated system anyway...

    It's actually not the date that I was referring to - it's the part (on mine) where it says "The clock is set to go BACK 1 hour at that time" that I LOL'd at.

    Although, it looks like DCX's is ok...

    What's up with that??

    I lol'd at Mountain Time, but that might just be me.

    But i am confused at what the point is, was something wrong about MS's DST update, or is it a complaint about DST in general, cause it is there for a reason.

    I think the OP has got confused and forgot that the clocks only just went forward an hour last weekend lol.

    Mind you, a clue here is when he posted "Spring forward, Fall back".. I would of thought he cought on to what he had done at that point lol but maybe the OP is feeling a bit "blonde" today :banana::puke2:

    Pfft I quite like it when they go forward, suddenly you get an extra hour of daylight in the evening :) and nobody cares about light in the morning so it's all gooood.

    The autumn change sucks though :(
