It turns out that for .NET 2.0 there were changes in localized names for months and week days in spanish cultures (es-CO, for example). They used to be capitalized ("Febrero") and now they are not ("febrero").
I logged this to see what the answer was, and, it turns out (not unexpectedly) it was by design. I really would like to know just what kind of usage scenarios they had in mind, as I personally feel the change is not very useful, and actually makes some scenarios harder; but I might be convinced otherwise if it makes other scenarios easier!

I actually disagree with you. The new way (i.e. "febrero") is the correct way to spell the date in Spanish as in: "24 de febrero de 2005". I think (and I'm sure you already know this) that they had capitalized because that's the English format. But you might be thinking in other scenarios that I haven't even consider here.
Best regards,
