If you’re an early adopter of new technology, you get the benefits of increased productivity from use of the new features, but you also sometimes have to put up with any initial bugs or performance issues found in this new software.

Outlook 2007 suffered sluggish performance under certain conditions, such as when you were using a large PST or OST file (which stores your online or offline mail content).

Microsoft have recently released a patch that will fix these performance issues with Outlook 2007.

New daylight savings times which were passed by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 are set to create problems with Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Exchange Server, unless you run a few updates prior to March 11th, 2007.

Windows Vista systems already have this update installed as part of the operating system.

I can just see that on March 11th there will be many executives and employees being an hour or two late for their scheduled appointments. At least they’ll have a decent excuse; you can blame the USA government for this crazy change.

There’s a very good article describing the problem over at WindowsITPro.

Microsoft have also released a tool that walks you through correcting the problem, and also a list of Microsoft products which are affected.

The problem isn’t limited to just Microsoft though. You’ll need to potentially contact some of your main vendors to see if they have released an update for this issue.

So get to it. You only have a week before things start going nuts and the world comes to an end
