I had thought it made sense to talk specifically about the proprietary Windows data in the "Other time zone databases" section - as Microsoft does indeed research and maintain their own data for this.
Yes, it'd make sense put a cross-reference there, or perhaps it's time to reorganize tz-link.htm (but that's a bigger project). Might as well mention HP-UX while we're at it. Further patch attached.
Also, it would be nice if at least somewhere in the text pointed at the official support page for it:http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst
I think I'd rather leave that one out. We don't have support links for anybody else (Android, Apple, Oracle, Red Hat, etc., etc.), and adding support links for everybody would be a maintenance burden for us and overkill for readers. These days time zone support is all automated anyway, no? (Here's where I duck to avoid tomatoes being thrown....).
