Microsoft Daylight Savings Changes

 

The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by the U.S. Congress July, 2005, extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. by approximately four weeks. As a result, beginning in 2007, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed. These four weeks are referred to in this article as the extended DST period.

 

 

Previously DST started on: First Sunday of April (04/01/07)
With the new law, DST will start on: Second Sunday of March (03/11/07)

 

Previous DST ended on: Last Sunday of October (10/28/07)
With the new law, DST will end on: First Sunday of November 11/04/07

 

 

Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, it is possible that the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four week period. This depends on where you live and which time zone you have selected. When your time zone settings are incorrect your clock may be off by one hour, and certain applications running on your Windows based computer may not display the correct time.

 

Microsoft is producing updates for Windows products as well as other Microsoft products affected by the new U.S. statute and PC professional is assisting clients with the conversion.  The

 

PC Professional Inc. is committed to helping customers that are affected by the DST changes make this transition as seamless as possible.

January Employee Of The Month

PC Professional is proud to announce its January Employee of the Month, Jerry Chance. Jerry not only accepted the challenge of an important project at a new customer site, but has exemplified the high standards of involvement and attention to detail PC Professional strives for. Jerry is in the process of working with the client to overhaul the processes and streamline desktop refresh procedures for both new hires and upgrade users. With Jerry's current migration testing and development lab work, it looks like he will be saving the client approximately 15 minutes per migration. This will result in an overhead savings of 1500 man hours per year and an approximate budget savings of 60K per year for the client. It is this creativity and diligence that clients ask of PC Professional when they hire us.

 

FANTASTIC JOB JERRY - KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
