Timezone synchronization between Windows and .NET

Question

Windows time zones are sometimes updated (for example, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/970653 ). Does this also update timezone information inside the .NET platform?

Yes.

The best part of this is that ... if you are on a Vista machine ... all these functions will have Vistas Dynamic Time Zone support, because our calculations are performed with the time zone data available on your OS .
