Don’t get me started! Must admit, there was havoc synchronising the i-mate and outlook, but everything else about DS is fan-bloody-tastic: http://theperthfiles.blogspot.com/

Beh, DST doesn’t really effect me, but the only thing I really hate about it is changing the clocks :P.
But Cutty makes a really good point there, a trial is a trial, thats what it’s for TO TRIAL something.
Anyway.

so is microsoft actually releasing a patch to give perth/WA a daylight savings upgrade?

obviously we can just change our computer clocks, but any reference to other countries will be incorrect.

i for one welcome the trial …. because that is what it is. maybe after 3 years it is a load of crap and people dont want to adjust – so nothing happens – or after 3 years everyone loves finishing work and going to the beach …. who knows!

The implications for e-systems are a giggle. Anyone know what day it ends so I can patch my time zone?

I live in Perth and i hate daylight saving. I am not going to set the time to daylight saving even if it’s passed because i can live on my own time quite happily, thanks.
I mean, nature sets time, so even if parliament changes it, they don’t really, because time just keeps going on without interruption.

Cutty,

But don’t you think it would be easier if Melbourne stayed at GMT+11 all year?
