Day Light Saving Time 2007 Fix

Not sure if anyone posted this or not, I found this from the edgeblog
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daylight Saving Time change for 2007 is going to cause problems for unpatched technologies, Most vendors, including Microsoft, have released patches. One big area that is lacking is Windows Mobile smartphones & PDAs. Microsoft release a registry fix and instructed the carriers to push out a patch. Most of the carriers, in their infinite wisdom, have neglected to do so. If you rely on your Windows smartphone, you need this fix. Microsoft published the registry fix here. This fix requires you to build a CAB file and then install it. To save you the trouble, I (not me, the EdgeBlog)have bundled the CAB file for you:

Maybe DST needs it's own forum?

If for every little detail such as this one, Dell makes a ROM update, more Axims are going to get bricked. A patch would be sufficient.

Maybe so. We have an entire DST team at the company. We're a developer of a time&attendance application. I've spent more hours on DST and related issues than just about any other issue with our software in recent memory.

Read the KB article on Microsoft's site.
Thought it was odd how in the body of the article they say, "The modification does not affect devices that are running Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition or later versions of Windows Mobile."

Then at the bottom of the article, the list shows it applies for the operating systems that they just said above it doesn't affect.

It's not just this year, it's next year and the year after.
