Because Windows defaults to using *localtime* for the system's realtime clock and Linux uses UTC. Getting Windows to use UTC is a bit of a pain, so it is much easier to adjust Linux.

Not much of a pain here on Windows 7. Right-click the clock at lower right corner of the screen, choose "Adjust date/time," click "change time zone," pull down "(UTC) Coordinated Universal Time" from the list, OK out and you're done. Very straightforward. You could go the long way through Control Panel if you wanted, but why bother?

BTW, in my experience Windows has usually defaulted to US Pacific Time out of the box (I guess 'cause that's where M$ lives), so I've had to change the time zone whenever I bought a new machine, but one it's done and daylight saving time is enabled, I never have to think about it again.
