Sure, but it's still true that businesses operate during hours similar to any other places in the world. Even in Spain, ~9 to ~14 then ~17 to ~20, the day time hours are still in the "rest of the world bracket".

    Sure, but that still means you are not reaching someone by phone at work during 4 hours of you previously mentioned 8-17 Windows.

    As someone currently working from Ireland with my usual office in Germany (laptop still configured this way) with a Team from India and DST ending next week, I would prefer to drop the calculations and just remember when each colleague approximately comes online. That is not the same for each colleague and day anyways.
