Well, that's good news but ultimately pretty useless. If it's really going ot be of any use to applications in general, then the OS itself needs to be using the TZ database files, and that needs to be accessible via their normal C API, not just the WinRT stuff. But maybe this is a good sign for the future. - Jonathan M Davis
