[time-nuts] For my whole life timezones have been weird

[David C. Partridge]

Windows actually CHANGES the RTC at DST changover, rather than let it tick montinically, and adjust the offset. 

This is what is bad ...

Microsoft also does updates regarding the day daylight savings time changes, similar to that Apple message.

I suspect I'm not following this thread correctly. What I got from the orignal thread is Microsoft will "thunk" the RTC during the switchover. I'm going to make it a point to insure NTP is logging correctly, and then look for a time error at the switch over. (2AM I think.)
