A nod to the good folks across our company working on our effort to help manage time (particularly in daylight saving time and time zone changes) documented and followed at https://www.microsoft.com/time and over at the blog at https://blogs.technet.com/dst2007. Thanks to the folks coordinating the efforts on our daylight saving time and time zone updates and releases for current products across the various product groups at Microsoft. As noted, this is a tough job, to say the least.
