My new Treo 700wx needed the patch for the new Daylight Saving Time disaster. After going through 3 different patches (all of which claimed to be the official Microsoft patch), I finally stumbled on one that worked. Thread after thread on the blogs and boards spoke of the horrors of devices moving one or two hours ahead and appointments being missed after patching.

Now that the original DST date is approaching, or is already here, it will be interesting to see if anyone who has applied the patch experiences more trouble. If Microsoft isn’t embarrassed by this whole fiasco, nothing will embarrass them. Something which should have been a simple fix, that should have been widely published, was neither. So share your stories; in particular post if a new problem arises in the next few weeks.
