According to that page, 

        "Someone from Microsoft's Core Operating Systems Division hints
        in an email to me that both Vista SP2 and Windows 7 will fix the
        problems in the RealTimeIsUniversal=1 support that have made
        running the CMOS clock in UTC so far not practical with Windows
        (i.e., the time was wrong after resuming a suspended/hibernating
        Windows)"

Since I dual-boot WinXP on my netbook, I'm wondering if anyone has seen
this misbehaviour.
