Windows can have UTC hardware clock

Thanks to reddit's Sceptically for this:

There's a registry setting you can use in windows to make it work with UTC on the hardware clock.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001

I don't know why they don't press that for you before it leaves the factory...
