Perth Daylight Savings and Outlook Issue

If you live in Perth, you may have been made aware that your PC was set to the wrong time this morning.

That’s due to the messy way Microsoft is handling Daylight Savings on your computer – your PC still thinks WA has daylight savings even though we voted it down.

Microsoft are aware of the problem, but wont be releasing a fix until next year!

if you manually change your clock, it’s just going to reset itself as it normally checks the internet for time every now and then. If you untick the Daylight savings box, you will be horrified to find all of your Outlook calendar appointments now showing the wrong times!

In the meantime, you can try to work around the problem by visiting the Microsoft site here.

Windows 7 Aussie Ads Are Pretty Good

As much as we all hate ads, most of us would secretly admit that we’re actually quite fond of the clever and funny ones!

When Microsoft launched their Australian ad campaign for Windows 7 (which is now available) – I wasn’t expectig much. But after watching some of them, I’m quite impressed – check them out for yourself.

Oh, and as one of the early beta testers of Windows 7 – I have now been using it for many months and must say it’s a huge improvement over Vista and XP. Just a shame a full copy will set you back AUS$500+!

Some interesting figures coming out of the U.S. show that Microsoft’s new search engine (or as they call it a decision engine) has grown in use by 22% over the last few months.

According to Nielson, the actual figures for marketshare in the U.S. for all search engines are as follows:

Search Provider Searches (000) Month-on-Month Growth (%) Share of Searches (%)
Total 10,812,734 2.9 100
Google 6,986,580 2.6 64.6
Yahoo 1,726,060 -4.2 16
MSN/WindowsLive/Bing 1,156,415 22.1 10.7
AOL 333,231 1.8 3.1
Ask.com 186,270 2.9 1.7

Microsoft Bing still only has around 1 in 10 searches though, with Google remaining the clear leader. Global, U.S. and Australian figures vary wildly – but the trend in all still shows Google being the clear leader in search engines.

It’s also very important to note that around 9 in 10 searches for business, products and services are now carried out online. This means that as a small business, most of your potential clients are looking for you online.

Not only is it important for you to have a professional looking website that is easy to use and navigate, but you also need to have a optimised website for search engines (SEO) to ensure that you’re website is showing up on the top of search pages – otherwise people just won’t find you.

No one goes to page 2 when looking for a business – if you’re not on page 1 of Google, Yahoo or Bing, then you need to find out why – and get it fixed.

Nutwork can assist you by analysing your website, discovering what needs to be tweaked and fixed, and then carrying out the fixes to get you ranked higher. Contact us for more information and a free quote.
