Argentina Daylight Saving rule taking effect THIS SUNDAY

[Guest Aaron]

Is there any information from Microsoft about a patch for Argentina's

Daylight Saving observance? They begin to observe Daylight Saving THIS

SUNDAY, 12/30.

 

Here's a link with more detailed information:

http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/argentina-into-daylight-saving-time.html

 

The Daylight Saving blog (http://blogs.technet.com/dst2007/) seems to be the

logical place Microsoft would announce something about that, but the blog

hasn't been updated since October 29th, and has no information about

Argentina.

 

I know there is a way to create a custom time zone in Windows with "tzedit"

but it would be a lot better and simpler implementationwise for my company's

Argentinian customers to supply them with an official Microsoft patch.

 

Thanks in advance for whatever assistance anyone can provide.

Thanks for the link, but I went through the list of changes and it looks like

the Argentina change isn't reflected. Furthermore, the Argentina government

made the announcement Dec 21, and that update was dated Dec 20. Looks like

Microsoft hasn't published an update yet, but I'd like to be able to find

some kind of official confirmation of that fact, one way or the other.

Since this change was announced by the Argentina government with a very

short time in advance from to the actual date of the change, there was

no time for Microsoft to provide an update for the operating systems.
