The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by the U.S. Congress July, 2005, extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. by approximately four weeks. As a result, beginning in 2007, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed.

This will affect all operating systems. There is a Microsoft Patch for Silicor systems using Windows XP. Owners of older systems using Windows 2000 will need to adjust their time manually, or upgrade to XP. If you are interested in upgrading, please contact your reseller or Silicor directly.
