Why?

Why is it incumbent upon the OS vendor to have to do all the TZ stuff?

Don't know if it works on later versions, but, on WEENDOZE XP I have a 
utility that sets the two dates and times when DST is enabled or 
disabled.  I'm happy with it, and, if there is a problem (dummy forget 
to set up new TZ rules) it's my problem.

Sure beats some OS vendor patch or such.

KISS !

And if some dummy cannot do something so simple, well, that's why he's 
suppose to be paying me the big bucks.
