As you may have heard, the New Zealand’s daylight-savings period is changing. This year DLT will start one week earlier, from the 30th of September, and end two weeks later.
As you have probably noticed your computer automatically changes the time to fit in with daylight-savings. This change to the daylight-savings schedule will not only mean that your computers clock will be out but will affect all time-dependent software such as Outlook.
Microsoft is providing free patches and updates to all its currently supported applications and operating systems. But users of unsupported products such as Windows 2000 could face charges for the fixes.

If you have concerns about any time critical, non Microsoft software, you may want to contact your software provider to confirm that these changes have been catered for.
