Re: [PLUG] Daylight Savings Time


I am not sure I understand. How does Vista magicaly know the DST rules?
Wasn't it just because it is new and it came out after the rules were in
place? All other versions of Windows have updaes at the MS site. If you
keep your system updated there will be no problem. It is my opinion there
will be less problems with Windows systems because of these automated
updates. Updates exist in Linux versions but they are often not exercised.
