in **MY** Windows XP SP3 fully updated, recently updated browsers :

Code   new Date(14580e8).toString()   gives

  Chrome 49.0   Tue Mar 15 2016 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time)

  Firefox 45.0  Tue Mar 15 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)
  MS IE 8               Tue Mar 15 00:00:00 UTC 2016
  Opera 12.18   Tue Mar 15 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0000
  Opera 35.0    Tue Mar 15 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)
  Safari 5.1.7  Tue Mar 15 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)

But in my Windows 7, Chrome gives the proper answer.

FYI, 16875*864e5 = 14580e8.

My js-date2.htm#CCD and js-clndr.htm#Ctrls also show that 'Chrome
Version 49.0.2623.87 m' uses US DST rules.

Discovered in astron-1.htm#Anow, on mouseover of the ExoMars launch date
(Monday, 15:31 EKST).

Is it just my system, or do others see it with Chrome in WinXP too?  Are
other EU countries also affected?
