It definitely can, since Win2K IIRC, the problem is that not many
people realize it. The registry key to change is below. So far, the
only side effect on Windows 7 I've seen is that it won't every touch
the hardware clock if this is set (intentional design decision), so
the clock can get to be a few minutes off if you rely on Windows to
synchronize the time.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
Apparently this isn't the default setting for Windows because the fear
is that some people will get confused if they set their clock in the
BIOS and it's a few hours off when Windows boots.
