All right. Accepted. So explain to me why the same thing happens in Windows XP?
Windows is not as polite to us Indians as Linux is. There is no
separate locale setting called India which automatically sets the date
etc format to the Indian standard. (Linux has this.) So I select en_us
and then customize the date format and everything. So according to
Windows Control Center the default date format is DD-MM-YYYY. Even
hitting F5 (Edit > Time/Date) in Notepad gives me 07:38 28-Nov-2005 -
the correct format. But OOo 2_0 on Windows does not behave properly
either.
