Windows follows local date format in any country you use it in. Microsoft actually spends a lot of time making sure Windows works in over 100 countries.

It's easy enough to test for yourself. In Windows XP, go to Control Panels -> Regional and Language Options. The first tab gives you about 100 choices for how currency, time, short date, and long date should be presented. You can do manual entry or pick from 100+ presets.

If you want to change the language of Windows, you'll need your original CD or to download the files from their website.

I use international date format of YYYY.MM.DD because if you use it in part of a filename, it will sort properly.
