I always thought that it was a bad decision that Windows tracked time as local time. IMO they got it wrong right from the get-go. It made more sense to me to track time in an unambiguous manner(*) like seconds since midnight January 1. 1970 GMT and then convert to whatever representation is convenient locally. (*) I suppose this does not work as well on Mars. I suspect that the time on the various extra-planetary vehicles is tied to earth time but would not work so well if Mars were ever colonized.
