Maybe when Windows was installed it moved the system clock from UTC tosomething else? It's been a _long_ time since I've done a Windowsinstallation, but I don't remember it ever asking about userpreferences, rather, just doing what it assumes is correct withouttaking into account that some other OS's may also be installed (not tobash Windows or anything).
Also, have you checked whether or not the machine is syncing with anNTP server? Same server as the other machines?
What does the BIOS clock say?
Is this an IBM ThinkPad? If so, you might want to try asking inThinkPad-specific forums. A lot of ThinkPad hardware is unique enoughto cause maddening behaviour such as this. IBM (Lenovo) are not afraidto make 'better' at the expense of 'standard'.

By that reasoning, my machines are running at their WRST :)

According to this document it is:http://giraffe-data.com/software/about_hwclock.html
How are you setting the clock? With these:?# hwclock --adjust# hwclock --hctosys
