Microsoft to Steal Time

Ever the bearer of proprietry software, Microsoft have inadvertantly managed to steal an hour of everyones time.

A bug in Microsofts Exchange Server is set to turn the clocks back a week earlier than anticipated meaning loyal users of Outlook, and the such, will find need to log a call with the much beloved Mulder and Scully as an hour of their day is molested by the Seattle enitities.

The issue occurs as Microsofts Exchange Server handles the yearly change from BST to GMT. However, under the impression that every October is to only have 4 sundays, the program will reset the clocks a week early, as this year, along with 2010, 2011 and 2016, October has 5 sundays.

Microsoft have issued a patch for pre-service pack 2 releases here.
