DST - Did it work for you?
 
In my world, Almost everything UNIX/Linux/BSD switched automatically to
the DST time zone, but most of the Windows boxes stayed with the standard
time. Even with the updates.

Whats your experience?


I also see FT shows the Standard time.

Windows machine changed fine. I changed my blackberry manually.

My Windows 98 system at home changed over just fine, although I had used tzedit.exe to update the timezone last month. Haven't checked my work systems yet, although I don't expect to see any problems.

PC and laptop (both WinXP) synched okay so far. Haven't checked anything else.

Edited to add: phones okay. iPod still on standard time.

I believe FT shows the correct DST!

My old PC changed the time correctly too ^

3 XP PCs, a 2003 server, a Linux server and my BlackBerry all patched yesterday morning and all changed correctly.

only windows XP SP2 and higher should have done automatically, SP1 didn't get the update.

may be it was because of my desktop. It looks fine now.

For my PC, I had to fix it manually (Its XP) dont know why it didnt take the
update in the first place.

Everything did fine on it's own, I patched all the exchange stuff in the last couple of weeks, so that's OK. The only thing that didn't get it yet is one of the self adujsting rf clocks, but it only latches on to a signal once a week or so even though it tries every hour.

Exact same thing happened to my two atomic clocks. The larger one on the wall updated, while the medium-sized on on my desk did not. They're made by the same company, so the physical placement may have been a factor.

XP laptop converted on its own.

My Tablet PC switched over fine, however the real fun will be seeing if my desktop (especially Outlook) made the transition. However, I wont get to find out until wednesday night.

I should probably update my Dell Axim today before I let it go too long....

Everything made it
 
My laptop, pc, Trep 650, 3 Ipaqs hx2415, hx2495 and rx 1955 and my wifes laptop

4 XP machines, all set to auto update, all received the patch and showed the correct time this morning.

All my computers and phones worked this morning. The sun came up. I walked the dog. Ate my breakfast. Read the paper. Watched Meet the Press.
No end-of-the-world here in ITP ATL.
