Microsoft has issued a patch for the Windows Mobile software patch it issued a few weeks back to address changes in Daylight Saving Time (DST) . That first version, as it turns out, was defective.

Those who installed the original DST patch discovered their appointments were off by an hour between March 11th and April 1st, when DST would have began if the old rules were still in effect. The new version of Microsoft's DST software update corrects this problem.

Beginning this year, DST start three weeks earlier (2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, the 11th for 2007) and ends one week later (2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in November, the 4th for 2007) than in the past. Previously, it started the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October.

Microsoft latest version of its DST software update promises to enable your handheld or smartphone to alter the time correctly when March 11th rolls around next week. So your Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone or Windows Smartphone’s appointments will reflect the correct hour you set them to occur.
