At the start of the bugzilla it appears suse people wants the poster to change cmos to utc time - but this will break windows time, but they don't seem to understand or care.
Some developers feel it's not their job to work around flaws in software written by other people.
We can not change how Windows works. The fact is that Windows needs and sets the CMOS clock in local time, and AFAIK, there is no way to change that. Users are powerless in this respect. No choice. It is also a fact that Windows does not care about any other operating system. Rather, they care for rising obstacles in our road, to their advantage. Thus it remains the, also a fact of life, that Linux needs to work around the quirks of Windows, if we want to gain users to come from Windows to us, and who will be double booting for at least some time, sharing files, etc. It is also us who need not to raise obstacles of our own in our way. Besides that, SuSE has always known this "quirk" of Windows and worked around it since always. Ie, setting the CMOS to local time, and making /etc/localtime a copy instead of link. It appears that some people on SUSE/Novell do not know/remember this, also, fact. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
