I don't think that happened on my wife's laptop running Vista. However, a coworker running Linux on his laptop *didn't* get the automated update - his distro was asking (in a dialog hidden beneath other windows) for confirmation to actually set the clock. (I suspect $COWORKER running his system clock in localtime, not utc) Abigail
