Update: Thanks to TravisP for the correction. I incorrectly had 'savings' instead of 'saving'.

Only five days to go, folks!  Not yet patched your Windows CE / Windows Mobile devices?

Get the information and downloads you need here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx

For additional detail, check out these knowledge base articles:
Windows CE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923027
Windows Mobile: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923953/

Why should you update your devices (in addition to your desktops and servers)?  Not only will meetings be shown for the incorrect time, but any alarms you set will be off by an hour as well (how many of you use your WM device as your alarm in the morning? Do *you* want to be late for work?).  Additionally, there can be discrepancies with meetings created on the device when they get to Exchange.

Still need to update your workstations and servers as well?  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/gp/cp_dst

Technically speaking, it's "daylight saving time," singular. As in, "changing the clocks is saving us daylight."
