Is there a patch for congress new 2007 daylight savings time change?

http://geography.about.com/cs/daylightsavings/a/dst.htm This could have
economic impact like y2k did. Is there a patch for windows
95/98/me/xp/2000/2003/etc. to handle new daylight savings time rules? are
there any patches for .net? win32? etc.? what all else is impacted by this
in microsoft products and apis?

I could have sworn that no patch was needed for Windows. I got kinda
suspicious when *nix and java needed patches and we were told windows was
good. hmmm. Good link.

Hi,

Yeah, a patch is definitely needed for the OS, but I think that's all
that's needed at least as far as .NET is concerned. I think the
DateTime methods rely on OS settings. The patch was delivered via
Windows Update several weeks ago.
