The last paragraph is not actually correct, sorry for that: many of you will get weird hours on Windows if you set the clock to UTC. Here it is just winter time because this is WEST and WET (Europe/Lisbon and others), and our winter time happens to be UTC+0000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_European_Time -- Nuno J.
