This is a well-known issue. It's actually an artifact from the
venerable Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, which incorrectly considers 1900 to
be a leap year. Microsoft Excel was designed to be as compatible as
possible, including replicating the date bug.

It's not a matter of IBM or Microsoft being "more correct". The issue
is, if you want to get the data out of an Excel file correctly, you
need to interpret the results the way Excel would interpret them.
