Hmm...
It might be best if you contacted MS Support about this, Truman:
"If you have any questions about daylight saving changes you can contact
Microsoft Australia on 13 20 58 or refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=australia." (Source:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/bb821275.aspx)
Let us know how you make out, please.
