For God's Sakes Will Someone At Microsoft Fix the Time?

The time being broadcasted by time.windows.com has been wrong for the last
week.

And it's wrong in the worst possible way too. It's wrong by one hour... On
the wrong side. It's suppose to be 1:30AM for me right now, Pacific Standard
Time. But Vista is telling me that it's 2:30AM.

Spring foward. Fall back. At least that is my understanding of American
daylight savings time.

Well so if I get this right. Microsoft time is uber wrong. If it thinks
that daylight savings time has already happened because it is still using the
old daylight savings time, it should be 12:30AM instead of the 2:30AM.

It has the wrong time. And it went the wrong way with that wrong time.

Seriously dude...

And it's been like that for a whole week at least. I don't know when it
started happening, but I can't believe how hard it is to just set the time on
a server.

I swear to God. Apple is going to make a commercial and make fun of
Microsoft for this.

Maybe it's just my computer. But the same thing happend to my friend in
Germany who is running Vista. This appears to be a worldwide problem. If
any banks are running Vista, someone could've stole a lot of money by now.

Hopefully, this will get fixed soon.

So, why don't you use a different time server instead of flying off the
handle like this? There are several others you can choose from when using
Vista.

You're probably right. I had forgotten about that. It's the 'Sign of the
Times'!

haha, i forgot too, but if you check under your time settings it says
"Daylight savings in effect at 2:00AM on Sunday November 04, 2007

Yeah, this is bothersome, especially for the alarmclock...

Well, hope you understand the change, (becuase no one likes anything to stay
the same for too long)

On the bright side, this COULD"VE been the Y2K of daylight savings time
(snicker snicker snicker)

Well, my cellular phone at this time indicates it's 6:27 am, the HP laptop
running Vista indicates it 6:27 am EST. My watch is still on DLST is at 7:27
am EST. I'll correct the watch here in a moment. It's just the 'Sign of the
Times'.

If Microsoft can't run a timeserver properly, it doesn't say much about
their programming skills.
Use this timeserver, it's a good'un

FWIW - I usually use ntp.ubuntu.com - it is always correct.

Typical fanboy idiot. Even when Microsoft does something obviously
stupid, totally inexcusable, you morons still defend it blindly or
make lame excuses why it's ok. LOL!
