With a little help from Microsoft, we've collected some useful resources for dealing with Daylight-Saving Time. |
These resources are available for Microsoft channel partners, customers and developers:
- Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center
- Preparing for daylight-saving time changes in 2007
- Outlook DST updating
- Outlook time zone updating
- Help desk guidelines for DST and Outlook
- Daylight-saving time technical chats
- How to get DST updates from Windows Server Update Services
- Webcasts about daylight-saving time changes in 2007

- No-charge DST tech support from Microsoft: 800-642-7676.
Outlook would appear to be the product causing the most headaches for customers updating for daylight-saving time. Be prepared.

Why do we have daylight savings time? Yes, I know that it has it’s uses and all, but I think it is a big pain and just confuses people. I mean, this year the government just decided that we should move it ahead several weeks! So, if it is something not important enough that we could just randomly change the date of it, do we really need it? There are a lot of places that refuse to move the time already and we allow them to do that. So what about the rest of us? What if we all start to not observe Daylight Savings Time? Would they finally get rid of it? I can think back to when it feel on the morning of the state testing and everyone had to be up early and take a test. And now in the real world, it affects us in everyday things like work and family life. So, do we need it?

Thanks for this list of helpful information. Although I really can’t understand the reason behind having DSTs but it has been a part of our daily routine at work so I guess I have no other choice but to accept it in my life.
