WA Daylight savings patch for PCs

Daylight savings have arrived in WA and Microsoft has created a patch (yes, really). While this may not stop the curtains fading (a local joke) it may help keep your programs in synch.

Here's what Microsoft says:

Western Australia is introducing daylight saving on a trial basis for the next three years.

Microsoft products which are aware of daylight saving time changes need to be updated to include the new Western Australia time zone rules.
The following table shows the start and end dates for the daylight saving period in each year of the trial

Start                                                       End
the hour of 2 a.m. on 3 December 2006      the hour of 2 a.m. on 25 March 2007
the hour of 2 a.m. on 28 October 2007        the hour of 2 a.m. on 30 March 2008
the hour of 2 a.m. on 26 October 2008        the hour of 2 a.m. on 29 March 2009

Note: Both the start and end time are specified in standard time, so the end time is 3 am daylight saving time.

You mean it really won't fade the curtains?
