Borders and Time Zones

Authored by Michael Pate on August 24th, 2003 at 11:28 AM

In the original release of Windows 95, you could change your time zone by clicking on the map, and the time zone you selected would highlight. Similarly, you could change your Region Settings by clicking on the world map. This was one of those little touches that made Windows 95 that much more fun to use. But we had to remove those features within months of release, even though we based both of the maps on the borders officially recognized by the United Nations. - Raymond Chen
