I was just informed that Day Light Savings starts March 11 this year. The problem? MS XP and older ops don't know that. You will have to manually change the date on you system.

This may sound like a small deal but if you use any software that uses time as a basis for calcs, backup's, auto downloads, etc, they will be off an hour.

Yeah, which came out in November, so try not to freak out, unless you are still on SP1.
