Impact of Daylight Savings Time Changes?

Are some operating systems more open than others with regard to the configuration of Daylight Savings Time start and end dates, or will we need yet another update or patch to modify the internal calendar?"

    Yeah right, are you ignorant?
    By leaving this to the individual nothing is gained, only a concerted and regulated system can have any effect.

    Wether the effect (energy savings) is worth the trouble can be calculated.
