One more question: Do you (or does anyone on the list) know if running
the raw XP installation in VMware handles the time correctly with these

It should. If your host is using UTC for the hwclock, which vmware
should be duplicating as its hwclock. Go into the vmware bios
settings and you should see the displayed time, if it matches what you
expect it to be you're all set. It works fine for me on vmware fusion
1.1.
I have been running F6,7,8 now F9beta {f8 kernel} with a vmware-server
winXP guest, as well as occasionally booting the real windows installation.
Machine time was always set to local time zone, never UTC. This used to
justWork {tm}. I would like the non-tech {ie basic user} way to get it
right - is there such a thing ?
1. set host (linux) to use UTC system clock, sync the time, shutdown
2. boot windows (natively), create dword reg entry RealTimeIsUniversal, setup
ntp time sync and manually 'update now', shutdown
3. boot host, check time is correct, boot guest in vm, check time is correct
That should work theoretically, and it does for my systems.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation]
"RealTimeIsUniversal"=dword:00000001
