Argentina Daylight Saving rule taking effect THIS SUNDAY

Asked By Aaro

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.

You can implement the workarounds suggested here:
