Additionally remember that by the old definition DST ended the last Sunday in October. In 2006 daylight time ended on October 29, 2006. In 2007 however, daylight time would have ended on October 28, 2007. Why do we care? Because any machines or services that did not get the correct DST patches will probably try to change to standard time on the October 28^th date.

So be on the watch-out for oddities on both October 28^th and November 4^th.
