Suspected bug: time of last update in Windows Update UI off by 1 h

October 30, 2007

I installed an update tonight at 9:08 PM EDT. After restarting, I opened the

Windows Update UI (via Control Panel) to verify the installation. However,

the time shown next to "Updates were installed" was one hour before (8:08 PM)

the time at which I actually installed the update.

Just to do a sanity check, I clicked "View update history" and opened the

details for the update I installed: sure enough, it showed the correct time

of 9:08 PM.

It seems like the main UI is using EST instead of EDT. Can anyone reproduce

this?

First off, where do you reside? Are you away from home now?

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if they neglected to install DST

Updates on the Windows Update servers! <eg>
