Interesting.  When did this change?  I remember having a dual boot
system that would get screwed up whenever I booted into the other system
because I had set the Linux system to use UTC.  Whenever I booted into
Windows it would set the time incorrectly (by the UTC offset).  That
seemed to say to me that Windows uses local time rather than UTC.  Did
this change or was I wrong?
