    Fun fact: Poland is also missing in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.

    Poland actually is rendered in the internal resource file, but its color index was falsely mapped to water, not land. I actually made patches for Windows 2000, XP and 2003 by just changing Poland’s internal resource color to the nearest neighboring countries under the same time zone.

    Edit: Also, the screenshot looks like it’s actually from Windows 2000, unless someone went with the classic theme on XP.

      IIRC Windows XP uses the classic theme during setup, where it asks you to pick your timezone

        Hmm, that actually does sound about right.

      I wish windows would still look like this. It’s a total mess and their dark patterns slowly bleed into their normal usage UI…
