Daylight Savings Time

[DelawareGuy]

Will Windows recognize the new Daylight Savings Time dates? I get the updates automatically, but never really bother to go to the MS website and read about them, so maybe it's already taken care of.

To be honest, we won't know until it happens.

 

I'm sure they've TRIED to cover it, but we won't know if it worked until after. <shrug>

Great link. Thanks!!

 

Found out that the change doesn't take effect until 2007. Here's what the scoop.

 

Date change in 2007

 

On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

 

Also found out that I've been misspelling this event. According to the site:

 

Spelling and grammar

 

The official spelling is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight SavingS Time.

 

Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Similar examples would be dog walking time or book reading time. Since saving is a verb describing a single type of activity, the form is singular.

 

Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more mellifluously off the tongue. Daylight Savings Time is also in common usage, and can be found in dictionaries.

 

Adding to the confusion is that the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, but it is not as politically desirable.

 

(GAWD, I feel like I'm becoming "Spelling Boy".

Hey guys, thanks for the info! I thought it was going to start this year. So I guess Redmond has another year to get a fix in place. Now, I need to go and learn how to make my tongue mellifluous. Is this something my escort would like?

They may need that extra year. When they released holidays for Outlook for this year, they misplaced Thanksgiving in the first release. :o
