Except for Arizona.

Or those outside the US, I think.

Where outside the U.S.? Europeans call it something different, and
the starting and ending dates sometimes differ, but SFAIK it's
pretty much world-wide.

Other countries don't necessarily change on the same dates we do,
though. For instance, in Australia, it's switched around, and the
dates still don't match.

Us Aussies have the same fun as you guys do in the USA. Some states do
Daylight Savings, some don't. And those that do change on different dates.
Its maddening.

So, Tasmania started Daylight Saving (Spring Forward) on the 7th of October
last year, whilst New South Wales (NSW), The Australian Capital Territory
(ACT), Victoria (Vic), South Australia (SA) and Western Australia (WA)
started daylight savings on the 28th of October, 2007. Queensland (QLD) and
the Northern Territory (NT) don't do daylight savings. TAS, NSW, ACT, VIC, &
SA stop daylight savings on the 6th of April 2008, but WA stops earlier on
the 30th of March.

In winter, Australia has 3 time zones - AEST (Australian Eastern Standard
Time), and thats QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and TAS. SA & NT are half an hour behind
behind AEST on ACST (Australian Central Standard Time). WA is 2 hours behind
AEST, being Australian Western Standard time (AWST).

In Summer, it has 5, because QLD and NT don't observe Daylight Savings

But in the transitional period, there can be up to 7 different time zones,
as states change on different dates.

And we've only got 8 states!
