Yea why not give us the good stuff like the ones on Windows
I love re-installing my XP at least 4 times a year to flush out the crap that leaks in from the interweb
LOL!

I don't understand how Apple couldn't just have released iOS 4.1.1 to fix this, rather than just leave it until the next major update (which at the point of discovery was more than a month away).
Silly Apple.

Happened to me this morning... I'm in the US... and I had it set for 7:09 and it went off at 6:09. Kinda weird but made me wake up early.. =(
This caught me and my wife out this morning and were an hour late getting up
what really pissed me off was to find out that this is a known bug and they have done nothing to sort out an interim patch.
Im a dev manager, and have to organise what patches get made before full releases based on customer impact and other factors. This type of bug would have been top of my list for an 'out-of-release-cycle' patch.
Although I'm sure when Apple realised they could have 4.2 out before the USA change over to daylight saving they decided to leave it.

Very lame. XP is ten years old. Apple is constantly hyping their OS as the most advanced in the world and yet it can't even tell the time, even XP didn't seem to have a problem with that.

At least they could program a simple DST algorithm.
I'm in rare full sympathy with Apple's developers on this one.
DST bugs, especially with Congress meddling for American users, cause more trouble than the so-called Y2K problem ever did.
That said, I'd sure hate to be in the shoes of the Apple iOS tester group right now.
And Apple corporate gets no slack at all for failing to put out a fix once it was known. That's just total disregard for their customers.

No, the term is "Revolutionary"
In this case it truly is revolutionary, an alarm that wakes you up an hour late
Can we do away with "Daylight Savings time" world wide? Just shift everything back 30 minutes and leave it that way permanently.
Time Machine Issues? What time Machine issues?
10.2/10.3/10.4/10.5 was stable from the moment I got it [launch on all occasions], and so was 10.6.
I don't know what you people with problems to do your equipment but I've never had any issues.
Not even the DST bug has hit me, plus I don't use iPhoto.
Nothing to complain about from me.
Let's just hope they don't adopt iMac GPU Time, then we'll be a year behind instead of an hour
haha Arizona doesn't change for DST.
My 5:30 alarm set for Weekdays hasn't had any issues and shouldn't have any issues.
However, for reasons like this, I have two alarms set.
