However, an anonymous group has posted a workaround that will largely resolve any problems arising from the changes, as follows:
DAYLITE 6 MAC UPDATE
Office v.X Although the Microsoft Mac BU updated Office 2004 for the DST changes with version 11.3.3, Office v.X was end-of-lifed on January 9th, meaning that it will not receive an official update through for the DST changes. The current release, Office 2004 11.3.4, is available from VersionTracker.

Make sure you are using at least that version to comply with the new scheme. Office 2004 The appropriate DST changes were made in version 11.3.3 of this suite. Some of the more prominent issues/patches include: Individual applications, other consideratons Many time-sensitive applications have been updated by their developers to adhere to the changed Daylight Saving Time scheme.

The output shown above indicates correct timing for the shifts: Sunday March 11th at 2 AM local time, and Sunday November 4th at 2 AM local time.
DAYLITE 6 MAC MAC OS X
DAYLITE 6 MAC PATCH
You should consider updating to a newer release then applying the appropriate patch or using the freeware utility "Daylight Saving Time Fix" mentioned below. As such, if you are running Mac OS X 10.4.0 through Mac OS X 10.4.4 or Mac OS X 10.3.0 through Mac OS X 10.3.8, your system cannot be patched for the DST changes. Unfortunately, these updates are only applicable to Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Mac OS X 10.3.9, not previous versions Tiger nor Panther. Still, you should still apply a patch released on February 15th (available in Mac OS X 10.4.8 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 versions) that enhances Mac OS X's ability to deal with international users that will also experience a DST change. If you are running Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later, your system already has appropriate changes to deal with the new DST scheme. What follows is a summary of patches and workarounds being disbursed in hopes of obviating any potential negative effects from the time shift: This change obviously represents some issues for time-sensitive applications and Mac OS X itself. These changes affect the United States, much of Canada and some other countries. Previously, Daylight Saving Time was in effect from 2:00 AM on the last Sunday in March to 2:00 AM on the last Sunday in October.

Under the new scheme, Daylight Saving Time will be in effect from 2:00 AM local time on the second Sunday in March (March 11th in 2007) to 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November. This coming Sunday, March 11th, new Daylight Saving Time changes will go into effect.
