My university gave me a mac book pro that is boot camp dual boot with
vista and leopard. I am loving it so far, i just have a few problems
that i cant seem to work out. for my personal needs i use vista more
than leopard but to avoid an argument i see both operating systems to
be very solid and usefull. having said that my problems are in windows
but i didnt know which forum to post in since it is an apple system
but a microsoft os.

Windows doesn't even know it's running on a Mac. And why should it?
Macs have Intel motherboards, processors, and other standard PC
components. What you are experincing a Windows Vista software glitch.
The comp.sys.mac.* news groups are for Mac hardware and Mac software
issues.

Not so fast - the issue is in the use of the "standard PC" components.
Apple's apparently using UTC time in the hardware clock, and MS
apparently is not.

Other OSes on Intel boxes work use UTC time too, so solutions that work
for them may apply here too.

Right. The fact that the Mac uses UTC time is inconsequential. It's not
a Mac-specific issue as much as it is a Windows XP/Vista hardware clock
issue:

Sorry, Jolly Roger, but the OP is right on this one... even if it is a
Windows issue, it is caused by the Apple hardware (I have the same
problem myself). A Windows group would be of much less help, most
likely... I recall that Apple officially acknowledged this issue a
while back, but I can't find the page. Google "boot camp time
difference" and there are some quick-and-dirty fixes there.
