Just take a look at the zone info files for any country and you'll see that although Israel is especially erratic, almost any country in the world has a history of changing the rules once in a while, and the Microsoft system just doesn't cater for it - if you want to compare historic log records you have to be able to keep historical settings as the UNIX system does and Microsoft's "there is only one, current, rule" system just doesn't cater for this. On the other hand, as for people saying they have to go through the Windows desktops one by one to update them - I'm not a Windows expert but I heard the the really good Windows admins are able to do such stuff over the network through central servers.
