i don't see how this whole thing relates to JAWS though. Seems to me that this whole daylight savings time thing isn't even a JAWS issue. 

It effects Windows, certainly, but not JAWS.

Yes, but what about those that are still running earlier versions of windows? How would we go about updating due to this change?

I just figured that I would pass this along just in case. Does this mean that our computer will not function correctly if we don't install the new software to fix this problem? I haven't heard the news or anyone making a big deal about it. I am no longer enrolled at the school mentioned, but I am still signed up to their e-mail list. smile

Ref.:  Daylight Savings Time Changes
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 changed the way that Daylight Savings Time (DST) is implemented. Starting in the spring of 2007, there are four additional weeks of DST. It will now begin at 2:00AM on Sunday March 11 (3 weeks earlier), and end at 2:00AM on Sunday November 4 (1 week later).
This change in the law will cause many computer systems to report inaccurate time. Operating systems, as well as applications that use the local computer time for reference such as email clients, will need to be updated. Updates will need to be applied to computing systems including servers, PCs, mobile devices, and applications such as Outlook. In the past few days, UCC has completed updates to enterprise server systems and to all Windows XP machines connected to the UNO-domain.
All Microsoft Outlook clients will need to run an update calendar program to allow for correction of the DST setting. UCC has instructions on how to install this update at <http://ucc.uno.edu/DST_Update2.cfm#L2>http://ucc.uno.edu/DST_Update2.cfm#L2
For client machines not part of the UNO-domain, laptops, non-Windows systems, or mobile devices, please refer to the documentation available at <http://www.ucc.uno.edu/DST_Update.cfm>http://www.ucc.uno.edu/DST_Update.cfm# for recommended procedures.
For any questions related to this issue, please contact the UCC Help Desk at 280-HELP or at <mailto:helpdesk@xxxxxxx>helpdesk@xxxxxxx
