No, I'm afraid this statemnet is wrong. So long as the method for determining daylight saving start/end dates remains the same, Windows will use the existing system for all cases. If there is any need to load a new definition, this definition will take effect for all history and future. Windows is simply not capable of grasping the idea that its way of defining when DST stops/starts will not encompass all countries/all years. More about it at http://www.nrg.co.il/online/10/ART/925/274.html (plug warning - my article). > As for future dates - that greatly depends on what you mean by future > dates, and what your needs are.

No, you can manually update your zone this year, and again next year, and again the year after that.
