Micro$oft forgot Poland

Look up the timezone map on your Windows PC (doubleclick the clock in the bottom righthand corner and select the timezone tab).

Look at Poland (map of Europe here) on the timezone map...it may appear to be a body of water! It depends on which version of Windows you have, but the two computers I checked have this "bug".

There's a good technical explanation for the cause. Basically, the programmers didn't take into account the fact that timezones may change. After reading the article, you begin to realize how complex something as simple as a time zone map can be!
