 Hi,
no the time sync. is enabled, however that may only occur once a week.
If you switch between the operating systems, LINUX will set the RTC to UTC,
while Windows does not check if the time zone is UTC or any of the others.
Perhaps it does, but it will run with zero offset from UTC.
In any case the RTC doesn't care what OS is booted.
Granted, one can adjust manually for it, after Windows started, however
if there
is switching back and forth between the Operating systems it will probably
stay at UTC, since the manual adjustment will be forgotten

I have UBUNTU on a portable drive (USB Bootable) and the Windows OS on a
fixed SATA. The Way I installed it is in such way that I change the Boot
sequence
in BIOS. In this way I can disable the SATA drives before I boot into LINUX.
I had some problems with LINUX modifying the boot sector on my Windows
install and don't
want LINUX to mess with it. Microsoft stuff may be real unforgiving. On
Vista and newer installations
it might even cause a Microsoft License revocation.

However, LINUX always defaults to UTC and manipulates the RTC.
Not a real bug but quiet annoying, as I stated in time sensitive
applications it may cause
trouble too, because it is off by x hours from the local time. 

Regards,
Norbert Seibert
