Following up on how users feel about Windows' failure on this matter...
look at the comments on this article on it:

-hour-clock/
Here are just a few of them, aside from all the more general thank yous...
* // big thanx man,i was searchin this for hours //
* // thanks much, I too was looking for this! //
* // Thnx man, was googling this up //
* // Nice one. Just re-installed XP and AM was bugging me. //
* // Thanks I was wondering how to do this. //
* // Thanks,friend... Me and a friend of mine were trying for ours to
fix it... //
* // Many thanks, I have been pulling out my few remaining hairs trying
to figure how to select 12/24 hour format. //
* // Thank you very much, I had no idea where they hid this setting! //
* // was lookin’ for this for ages. Thank you //
* // Thanks dude. Cut down my digging through the control panel. //
* // Thanks heaps! Why this is not adjustable via the “control panel –
date and time” is beyond me???? Idiot programers I suppose... //
* // Thanks! That’ll work for and ol’ Army guy... //
* // I too was reinstalling XP (for speed-up purposes) and couldn’t
remember how I had done it before. Awesome to have military time back. //
* // Thanks for the tip. It is a lot better than garbaging up my
computer with another app. and is useful for Amateur Radio, where
schedules are given in 24 hour time. //
* // thanx alot. why on earth would they hide this option so far. it
should be right there when you right click the clock for options. //
* // Hi, THX for your input on the net. I was looking around in so many
places. THX a lot //
* // BIG thumbs up. This was bothering me for a LONG time //
* // You are the best ever man, searched on my comp for hrs trying to
figure this out. //
* // Couldn’t figure this out forever.. Karma point for you.. Thx //
* // Thank you! I had forgotten how to do that, it’s been too long. //
Do we really want to have Haiku also be so unintuitive that it goes
against almost everyone's obvious first instincts on how to change a Time
setting?
I really hope this puts the issue to rest and we can get it fixed.
Thanks again.
