| Daylight Savings Time, 2007 Changes and Statit
Software |
|
|
Beginning in 2007, the United States and Canada are
changing the dates for Daylight Savings Time (DST) clock
adjustments.
The new change starts DST on the second
Sunday of March (March 11, 2007) and ends DST on the first
Sunday of November (November 4, 2007).
Statit Software
scheduling algorithms rely on the operating system to obtain
data and time information.
Please be sure to check that
your Microsoft operating system is correctly configured to
manage the new DST changes in the U.S. and Canada. For more
information, visit the Microsoft web site set up specifically
to assist customers in managing DST and time zone changes to
Microsoft operating systems and applications at:
