Many moons ago, the United States government decided to move up Daylight Savings. The change happens this weekend. (Please be sure to wake up at 2am on Sunday to set your clock forward one hour.) In addition, Daylight Savings has been extended. It now ends two weeks after it normally ends. (Mark down November 7th on your calendar.)

Microsoft has created updates for all their affected products. If you have Microsoft Updates enabled on your computer, you shouldn’t be affected. Your computer has already been updated and is happy. If in doubt, you can run the updates manually by visiting the following sites:

Microsoft Windows: http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

Microsoft Office: http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=ES790020331033

That is all.
