Amazing
It amazes me that these companies knew about the DST change back in 2005 and waited until the last minute to get their patches out. Microsoft being one of the worst offenders rolling patches barely 2 weeks before the DST change for some products. Some products like tzmove having 6 or more revisions to fix bugs.

Could these patches have not been created and tested before the end of DST last year? Then rolled out to customers within one week after the end of DST 2006? Yes is the correct answer to both.

With 1.5 years of notice this could have been far better executed.
