Five Time Zones updated in the "August 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems"
Microsoft Support - August 2007 cumulative time zone update for Microsoft Windows operating systems
"Important This update supersedes and replaces update KB931836, released in January 2007. This update also includes additional time zone changes that were signed in to law after update KB931836 was created. Customers who have already deployed update KB931836 should evaluate whether any of the five specific time zone changes that are addressed in the update described by this KB article merit deploying this update immediately. If systems are not directly affected, you can schedule deployment at the next available opportunity. We recommend that all customers standardize on the most current Windows cumulative time zone update to guarantee the consistency of the time zone database on all systems.

Updates from the previous cumulative Windows time zone update
The following changes have been made since the previous Windows cumulative time zone update, described in KB931836:• Caucasus Standard Time
Changes display name to Caucasus Standard Time as cities in the previous display name have separate time zones, and removes DST settings.• Armenian Standard Time
Creates a new time zone for Armenia to better align with different DST changes in the Caucasus Region.• New Zealand Standard Time
Adjusts DST start and end dates according to changes signed in to law after the prior cumulative time zone update was created (February 2007).• GTB Standard Time
Correct the display name for GTB Standard Time on Windows Server 2003 SP2 to include Bucharest.• Jordan Standard Time
Adjusts DST start and end times and dates according to changes signed in to law after the prior cumulative time zone update was created (February 2007)...."
I saw this Time Zone update on Microsoft Downloads and was wondering what its deal was and if I should rush to apply it... Thinking others may have the same question, above is a very hacked and slashed version of the KB article.
