Multiboot is not a universe limited to Windows and Linux, and certainly not
only the latest version of either. And, there's a whole LAN to consider, not
one PC in isolation.

When I acquire a new PC or motherboard, I set its clock to match the rest of
the clocks in the building, neighborhood and city, so the sun is overhead
somewhere around noon. That's how time is supposed to be. It's up to a PC to
adjust to me and my environment, not vice versa, and when I boot a floppy I
don't need to look at a watch, TV or wall clock to see what time it really is.
