Revised daylight savings time impact on code

Hi,
There is this high-priority update from Microsoft regarding a revised
Daylight Saving Time savings which kicks in on March 11, 2007. Wanted
to know what kind of effect this will have in a typical web project -
on the client and the web-server. Was interested also on client side
javascript functions which calculate dates - shoud the end-user
(client) apply this patch update, what happens if they do not.

re : Update for Windows XP (KB931836).

Thanks.

this case gmt time is off.

For posterity's sake, here is an algorithm I created to take a GMT time and convert it to U.S. central time, accounting for daylight saving time. Note: this algorithm can be modified to work for any other U.S. timezone by changing the number of second subtracted at the end. <? $in_dst="false";

Hi, Is there any way to make time-of-day adjustments for daylight savings using only standard time functions? We have a program that executes daily at a fixed time of day. After daylight savings happens, the time-of-day alignment is lost. For example, if the daily task gets kicked in at 9 p.m. every evening, after daylight savings ends in fall, the task is shown as kicking in at 8 p.m. Similarly, if the daily task gets kicked in at...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
