Daylight Savings Time Changes

8 Mar 2007

Congress has changed the dates for Daylights Saving Time (DST) in the United States starting in 2007. Canada has also adopted similar Daylight Saving Time dates. These changes could cause clocks and Microsoft Outlook calendar appointments on Microsoft Windows CE and Windows Mobile devices to display incorrect times for March 11 - April 1, 2007 and October 28 - November 4, 2007 and again in subsequent years.

More information about the exact dates and potential impact of the Daylights Saving Time changes can be found on the Microsoft DST Change website.
