HTC TP 2007 Daylight Savings Patch

I picked up this wonderful device Saturday and noticed this Sunday morning that it had adjusted for daylight savings (DST). It appears that the TP is missing the Microsoft DST update for Windows Mobile (KB949168) and, therefore, is not aware of the new 2007 DST standard where DST ends the first Sunday of November instead of the last Sunday of October which happens to be Sunday today. After installing the patch I manually changed the time back to 1:59AM and it correctly rolled over to 2:00AM without adjusting for the old DST standard.

*** Note ***
Unless you bought your TP and had it powered on prior to 2am Sunday 10/26/2008 you won't notice the old DST taking affect due to the missing 2007 DST patch.
