It seems that yet again Microsoft developers are incapable of keeping time correctly. Apparently there's a bloody stupid bug in Exchange Server which means it will get the date of the end of BST (British Summer Time) wrong this year. October is only supposed to have 4 Sundays, not 5. At least, that's the assumption their high-quality software makes. This is far from the first time that I've heard of silly bugs in Windows and Microsoft apps when it comes to handling time and date information.
Still, it could be worse. At least they wouldn't try to bury this kind of insanity inside a programming language or inside an international "standard". Oh, wait...

That reminds me a few years ago when Windows would not switch to summer time on the last sunday of march, believing it would be the 1st of April. Nice one :) Reply |
