Funny.
I was just translating the part of Raphael's book that addresses this
issue, yesterday.
He recommends disabling UTC in /etc/defauilt/rcS for any dual boot system
with Windows in the book.
The problem, according to Raphael, is that Windows keeps the CMOS locked
to local time (rather than updating from an NTP server), or some such
thing.
