The Network-IT Insider: February 2007     
-
 
Hi,
 
With February being a short month, this newsletter snuck up on me.  Between Microsoft releasing their long-awaited operating system, daylight savings changes in March and ongoing concerns about security threats there is plenty to share with you.  Enjoy the remainder of the winter and have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!     
 
Wherever you go and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish be there with you.

Daylight Savings Changes  
 
The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by Congress in July 2005, extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. by about four weeks. As a result, beginning this year, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007.
 
Software created before the law changed in 2005 was programmed to automatically advance its timekeeping by one hour on the first Sunday in April, not the second Sunday in March.
