We all know the phenomena. We send an email to some Windows user, and we get the complaint "But your time is wrong". Why? Because email is sent according to time on local machine + GMT offset. For Windows machine, the GMT offset is usually wrong about half of the year.
The solution? http://www.lingnu.com/IsraelTimeZone.zip
It has time zone definitions for Israel for 2003 and 2004. Later years will be available when Poraz decides when that is meant to be. Of course, you can only merge one of them at a time.
Once you merge the relevant time zone, you will need to load the control panel setting and set "automatically adjust for daylight saving". Viola! your computer will keep the time.
This also allows Windows users to use NTP and other time synchronization protocols, get proper calendar, etc. Feel free to spread the word. The more people use the proper time zone, the more fluent the Internet communication is going to be.
The time zone was tested on Windows 2000, and should work on other Windows NT platforms as well. Don't sue me if this screws up your computer.
