The problem is not whether the OS is right or wrong, but how the user wish
to work.
In WinNT for exapmle in the Time Zone configuration
you have a checkbox for "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving
changes"
and I do not what to force the user for a specific configuration
(i.e. make sure that it is checked).

As I said if you do not have the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight
saving changes" checked
(On WinNT) then my application will give a wrong time (Not only my every
java application using JDK1.3.1).
