Hi, when using a dual boot setup, I find that Windows TM is using a different way to calculate the current time. This means in the real world that whenever I start Ubuntu, the time is referenced to UTC and this I think is the problem, is setting the Hardware clock also to UTC. When I start Windows again I am offset by the amount of local Time Zone. (RTC is running UTC)
I think it would be nice to have a check routine that sets the Hardware clock back to where it was before Ububtu started.
As of now it is only annoying to me, since I don't always check the Time Indicator. Documents created under Windows have the wrong time stamp. It might however cause some major problem in Time Sensitive applications between the two Operating Systems.

I am not sure if this has been reported, but I could not find anything recent in the reports.
Therefore, I thought to raise concern about it. I have noticed this in previous releases too.

Regards,
Norbert Seibert
