Daylight saving time (DST) bug in Vista?

[Juergen Spies]

In Germany DST ended last night (Going from UTC+2 to UTC+1). Since then all file dates in Explorer
and CMD.exe are wrong by 1 hour.

I created the file "date.txt" yesterday at 14:29 (2:29 PM).

Output from CMD.exe:
d:\temp>dir date.txt
....
27.10.2007 13:29 78 date.txt

Powershell gives the right date:
PS D:\Temp> get-item date.txt
....
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a--- 27.10.2007 14:29 78 date.txt


Did anybody else notice this behavior?

BTW I am using Vista Ultimate (English) with regional settings "German(Germany)" and Timezone:
"(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin..."

Regards
Jürgen

So if someone has an issue with their computer, you come up with an
incredibly stupid response. Just FYI. Install Ubuntu. If you want to be an
Ubuntu/Linux zealot, go there. Just FYI.

Maybe you should get a sign on your front lawn saying "Just FYI"

IDIOT.

Are you sure that will resolve the OPs issue without creating other
issues?
Such a suggestion has a potential to be bad if other important factors
are ignored.
Since we know nothing other than what the OP has said, you should get
more information before making a suggestion that may lead to disaster
if followed.
You may blindly follow Linux for now, but Linux is not right for
everyone.

A simpler solution would have been to see if the OP had all the latest
Windows Updates, particularly those dealing with the recent changes
with Daylight Savings Time.

As You Well Know, I Am Now Anti-Microsoft And Pro-Linux, Just FYI.

P.S. My Choice To Make The Switch To Linux Has To Do Everything With The
Fact That Windows Vista Service Pack One Was Supposed To Be Released To MSDN
And Microsoft Tech Net Plus Subscriber's Back In September, Just FYI.

Come on now. Kevin is just being an A-Hole. If you have seen his other
posts regarding his USPS employment, his political views, his whining about
MicroSquish, his crying about Vista, then you know he is just causing
trouble.

Just FYI

So it had NOTHING to do with any other factors.
You did not consider essential programs and hardware that may not be
compatible.
Perhaps that works for you, but many need to research a little before
making such a change.

"Was Supposed To Be Released"
The fact you may have wanted it to be has nothing to do with what
should have actually happened.
Do you have a source that says that was promised?
Unless such a promise was made, your statement and reasons are FALSE.

Hold your breath. You are trying to communicate with a mental retard. Just

One can only imagine the expectations this person has in the real world.

This reminds me of a secretary I had upgraded from 95 to 2k, she spent the
first 30 minutes adjusting her monitor and color scheme, apparently
attempting to achieve the exact shade of purple she used to have for her
mouse. After 45 minutes, she stormed into IS and threatened to quit if we
couldn't match the color. She was told to take the afternoon off "sick" and
rethink her decision.

People make stupid decisions for stupid reasons, when they feel threatened.
Kevpan has himself a serious lack of self-confidence.
