Yes, RIM sure is taking their time on this. MS is not doing much better either.

In the case of Exchange 2000, MS states they will not be provide a public patch, although they have a patch ready. Only to be handed out to shops that opted for Exchange 2000 extended support contracts back when. So RIM is testing the Exchange 2003 System Manager, along with its DST patch, on BES 4.1.2 running against Exchange 2000. I guess the big issue is CDO, as it stores its own timezone table separate from the OS' (registery-based) table.

I've been asking RIM for more info, but they just tell to keep checking their site. As for MS, my attempts to get them to own up to the fact that the DST 2007 changes were law back in August 2005, when Exchnage 2000 was still in mainline support, is getting me no where fast.

At lease RIM seems to be trying to get Exchange 2000 shops a work-around.
