Daylight Savings Time Changes - Important!
Section 110 of The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extends Daylight Savings Time in the US by 4 weeks beginning in 2007. DST 2007 has widespread impact for most if not all operating systems and applications. See the links below to update your PC or device:
Microsoft Windows:

Look for Either ‘Update for Windows XP (KB928388)’ in Review Your Update History (patched prior to FEB 2007) OR ‘Update for Windows XP (KB931836)’ in Review Your Update History (patched on or after FEB 2007).
Apple OS X:

Apple is providing software updates for Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 and later based on worldwide time zone information available as of January 8, 2007.
Blackberry:

When the DST dates change in March 2007, BlackBerry devices will not update their clocks for the affected time zones if no patches for impacted BlackBerry software and third party software are applied. As a result, your BlackBerry device might not display correct time zone information for certain time periods during the year.
Palm:

Palm devices, both smartphones and handhelds, need to be updated so that they reflect the correct time when the new DST changes take effect. Without the Daylight Saving Time Updates, calendar events and email messages will indicate an hour off the actual time in locations that observe DST. Downloads are available for both the Palm OS (Treo 700p, Tungsten, Lifedrive, etc.) and the Windows Mobile devices (Treo 750, 750w, 700wx).
