Default Time Zone Update Email from MSFT

FWIW.... (Just recieved this, this morning (Gary....help !):

No support for 98se. Not nice.



Dear Valued Microsoft Customer,

This year Daylight Saving Time (DST) extends by approximately four weeks.
In compliance with this provision in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, DST
dates in the United States and Canada will start three weeks earlier (2:00
A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 A.M.
on the first Sunday in November).

In some instances, effort will be required to accommodate the new DST
legislation. For example, systems and applications may need to be updated
directly, while in other circumstances the application may inherit the date
and time information from the underlying system.

Microsoft is committed to helping customers that are affected by the DST
changes make this transition as seamless as possible. Microsoft is
producing updates for Windows products as well as other Microsoft products
affected by the new U.S. statute. These updates will be released through
technical support channels including Microsoft Customer Service & Support
(CSS), as well as online channels such as Windows Update and Microsoft
Update.

Details of the updates for Microsoft Windows and affected Microsoft
applications, how customers can acquire them and when they will be available
can be found on the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com/dst2007.
Corresponding technical Knowledge Base articles are linked from this website
as well.

Microsoft is providing the Time Zone updates at no-cost for customers on
Windows platforms that are covered by Mainstream Support. For more
information on the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy including options
available for products in Extended Support, please visit
