Vista also supports multiple DST rules as "Dynamic DST" for Isreal, which may affect the time zone detection.

EVALUATION Due to the Time Zones registry changes in Windows Vista (build 5456), the following mapping changes will be made in Mustang. < "E. Europe Standard Time" "Europe/Bucharest" --- > "E. Europe Standard Time" "Europe/Minsk" < "Caucasus Standard Time" "Asia/Tbilisi" --- > "Caucasus Standard Time" "Asia/Yerevan" Bucharest users on the previous Windows releases (e.g., XP) need to use the "(GMT+02:00) Athens, Beirut, Istanbul, Minsk" (i.e., +02:00 and EU DST rule) time zone. Note that Minsk doesn't follow the EU rule.
