Except if you live in Australia(or NZ? Can't remember) where in one time
zone they recently switched to NOT observing DST(note, this was before the
release of Win95.)  A call to MS support revealed that Microsquish didn't

My grandfather got a call from a guy who had found an old reciept under a
seat in his stationwagon that the reseller missed when cleaning the car.
They both found it very interesting that the car had lost about 100k miles
in under two years :)
