Microsoft downplays 2001 glitch
« on: January 23, 2001, 11:28:05 AM »
Microsoft Corp. is downplaying a bug in its Windows operating systems family that is set to throw off program timing on April 1, 2001.



The bug, which is caused by a single missing equal sign in Visual C++ code in the runtime library in Windows 95, 98 and NT, causes an error in calculating the beginning of Daylight Saving Time in 2001, throwing it off by an hour.
