DST Updates for Windows Mobile

This is a public service announcement! 😛

For our visitors from the US, Canada or Mexico there is an update available from the Microsoft Daylight Saving 2007 Update page.

Updated March 5, 2007
Congress has changed the dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States starting in 2007. Canada has adopted similar DST dates. These changes could cause clocks and Microsoft Outlook calendar appointments on Windows Mobile-powered devices to display incorrect times for March 11 – April 1, 2007 and October 28 – November 4, 2007 and again in subsequent years. You can find more information about the exact dates and potential impact in the Changes in DST section.

To make sure your appointments on your Windows Mobile devices are accurate, you’ll need to update your device. If you regularly synchronize your device with your PC, you’ll need to update Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Outlook as well.

We have three tools that will help your make these updates:

2007 Time Zone Update for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Outlook Time Zone Update Tool

Daylight Saving Time 2007 Update Tool for Windows Mobile

So if you are in the United States, Canada and Mexico you should immediately install these updates. You should also install these updates you travel to the United States, Canada and/or Mexico or if you book meetings with attendees from these countries.
