I continue to be surprised by the number of people still using Windows 95/98/ME. I asked people earlier to let us know if they were interested in a 9x patch (For New Zealand), and we have gotten so much email we have had a hard time answering it all.

Your wish has been answered and we have released a new 9x patch that includes New Zealand.

We were looking for many ways to automatically refresh the DST tables, but all of them have their flaws - They simply bring up the date and time window instead of refreshing.

So you will need to do this by hand. It is simple to do.

1. Apply the patch

2. Open your date and time by double clicking on the time in the corner

3. Click OK on the date and time window

Now your system is updated.

Also this patch can be called with the /qinstall and /quinstall command line arguments.

My good friend Kristan M. Kenney who writes all those popular cool tweak guides for Windows Vista received news this evening that he was awarded the Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Award for 2007 to 2008 in the category Shell User. Kris Kenney regularly maintains a blog at http://www.windows-now.com in addition to http://www.msblog.org  and he also maintains a personal blog on Windows Live Space at http://km-kenney.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

A well deserved awardee, Kris and I started testing Windows Vista at BETA 1 and he has experimented and tested the OS in so many ways I can only imagine. Finding productive ways to improve the end users experience on the operating system, his passion for technology shows through the many thorough articles and guides he has written for Windows Vista in addition to his kindness and willingness to help others. Again, congratulations Kris and keep up the great work you are doing!
