[tkdsl]

Hey guys,
MS Has released a DST Update again for some reason. not sure why the first update they releases was not enough.

but here is the link. from MS Site Download link (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a3cc98c4-ab57-49b7-bd1d-e24013ab16cf&DisplayLang=en)

I have not tried it yet but will do so soon.

From Microsoft:
"This release updates time zone registry data for New Zealand and Western Australia in addition to US, Canada, and Mexico DST related issues in 2007."

Can anybody see if WM6 roms that we have already cover this or not ?

This appears to be a new patch (so is newer than the one that was built into WM6). Appears to be due (mainly) to changes in DST for New Zealand:

Do you think we need it then for US users ?

Well, the writeup from MS says it fixes some US settings or somesuch. Probably would be a good idea for everyone to install, but no idea what it changes (yet). Maybe they fixed the issue where DST in the US shows your timezone as being one zone back (instead of your real Timezone). But then, I understood that was an issue with the way the Cell operators did things.
