There is a guy who tracks the status of this and according to his latest
status report it is supposed to work correctly in Windows Vista SP2 and
Windows 7. See:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/mswish/ut-rtc.html
According to that page,
"Someone from Microsoft's Core Operating Systems Division hints
in an email to me that both Vista SP2 and Windows 7 will fix the
problems in the RealTimeIsUniversal=1 support that have made
running the CMOS clock in UTC so far not practical with Windows
(i.e., the time was wrong after resuming a suspended/hibernating
Windows)"
Since I dual-boot WinXP on my netbook, I'm wondering if anyone has seen
this misbehaviour.
