March eleven, the new date on which Daylight Saving Time (DST) will take impact inside the U.S. and a expanding amount of other nations, is fast approaching. And Microsoft is functioning overtime to obtain the message out that people require to patch a lot of their Microsoft goods, from Exchange Server, to Windows Cellular, so that you can head off date-change headaches. There's one bit of DST fine print that Microsoft isn't sharing quite so readily, however.

Page 20 of the deck mentions that Microsoft has decided, due to the quantity of customers and goods affected by the DST 2007 changes, to "amend the regular Extended Hotfix support program."

A Microsoft spokesman said that the $4,000 price represents a substantial discount."Originally, all the out-of-support patches were $40,000 each.
