You are right.

And that's what the posted article has you do, along with providing some extra details (such as how to activate the change once you've made it) and some interesting background info.

To me, the bottom line is that this is an MS tool that they provide for free but don't tell you about and pretend you need to spend $4000 to fix the problem.

Where's their sense of fair play? (kidding)

Actually, Microsoft really publicized the heck out the free fix (including a registry file that could be applied with GPOs) back when Congress first changed the start and end dates of DST last year. They actually went far beyond what many people thought they needed to do.

I guess that since it’s now 2008, and they went through all that trouble the last time, Microsoft felt that they didn’t need to do it again, since they figured that anyone using Windows 2000 had already applied the fix, and no new rollouts of Windows 2000 would be happening. I guess that they were wrong. But I won’t hold that against them.

They did a good job pointing out what needed to be done the first time. I’ve got a feeling that we’re going to be seeing this sort of article twice a year from now on, just so Microsoft can be bashed.
