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.
