I rarely use Windows and it doesn't matter to me if it runs on GMT
without the change for daylight saving time! I don't require it to
display local time. I don't see what possible problem that could
cause? If it has I haven't noticed but then there are times when it
doesn't get booted for months. But if I do boot Windows at least it
doesn't make a second correction for the time change.
Is there something wrong with that? Am I missing some obscure point? I
have noticed that others apparently run Linux without local time since
their messages display time +0000 while they are obviously in the US.
