Windows doesn't use UTC for the hw clock. You set the
BIOS to local time and windows works from there. Where
things get messed up is when you set your hardware clock
to UTC, tell Linux that and then dual boot. The time
get's messed up by Windows. You might check the archives
as there have been quite a few discussions on this very
problem. IIRC the solution is to set the hw clock to
local, set rc.conf to show that - or dump windows on the
box <G>.

I've never set my time to UTC under linux and Windows
never messes my time up. Windows NT, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP have all been perfect for dual booting. I
don't think Windows makes such an assumption about the
hardware clock. Certainly hasn't been my experience and
would be a bit out of the ordinary for them. They may
well assume that the hardware clock is set to Pacific
time, though. :-)
