These are different issues. Windows (nowadays, with NTFS, not with FAT) keeps file times in UTC. But the "CMOS clock" of the PC is still kept in local time. This is a bad design decision, probably motivated by backward compatability. At each DST change, the CMOS clock is actually moved forward or backward. This indeed seriously confuses dual-boot systems. (configurations with multiple copies of Windows are similarly affected) I think there is some secret registry value to keep the clock in UTC, but it is not as obviously visible to the user as in most Linux systems.
So what happens on a PC running just e.g. FreeBSD? Is the BIOS clock always kept in UTC? Or local time?
I'm interested to know what will happen when I next reboot my FreeBSD/GPS stratum 1 server, which has been up since the end of January when we were on winter time (i.e. UTC here)!
