UTC and TAI are both standards for specifying that. In fact so are
EDT, PST, etc. taken individually. That's the kind of time that a
Unix system clock measures. By constrast, a Windows clock keeps local
time. If you transport a Windows computer from Los Angeles to New
York, you normally tell the kernel to change its clock by 3 hours. If
you transport a Unix system, you don't. You just tell the various
programs that report the kernel's time that you'd like to see it in
EST now.
Maybe YOU reset the Windows clock that way. Windows does have the
facility to specify a time zone and at least some of us use that
facility to set the correct time zone for the zone we happen to be in.
I suspect that a lot of people have just left the default PST time zone
in place but it doesn't have to be that way.
