It's true!
Scary thing is it's going to be more problematic to PC's than Y2K was.
So for anyone runnig Widows and using Outlook, MS servers and stuff, better check out the patches available at Micorsoft.

The biggest impact will be on legacy apps that have Daylight Savings Time (DST) hard-coded into them and any scheduling software you may be running on your pc. Most applications will pick up the change and handle it easily. You should check any scheduling utilities you may be using to be sure. If you got to the Microsoft website to download and install the patch, be sure you are installing KB931836 which is the latest release of the patch. The first one was broke. Have fun!

If you use windows update you're ok in that respect,,,,if you don't you have a LOT of patching to do (depending on the size of the network) And Microshaft, doesn't use an MSI file for it, sooooo you have to have it come down in login script. it's an executable. Not surprising coming from MS.


Also if you use Outlook calenders you may want to print them out before this takes place.
