=v= I avoid Microsoft as much as humanly possible, but like many I have to deal with it at work, and to many friends and family I'm their go-to guy (considered harmful?), even for systems that I've exuded much disdain for. So, on the second Sunday in March, I got to help a whole bunch of people grapple with Daylight Saving Time on their Windows boxes. This involved two updates, one for their OS and another for their mailer app, and naturally these didn't work consistently for any two people. And the next day, many of us arrived at work on Monday morning to grapple with it all over again.

Last Sunday was the originally-scheduled DST switchover date, so of course a bunch of systems readjusted their clocks; and on Monday, many of us had to hassle with them again. Monday is also the day that Microsoft rolled out its lavish new ad campaign:

Day 1. The next 8 hours will be very, very different.

Yes. Yes they were. Though it's not clear whether it was 8, 7, or 9 hours, depending.
