Today is April first. At work my Windows 7 (64 bit) laptop claims that the time right now is 2142 UTC, but it is NOT, it really is 2042 UTC. As a consequence, my local time is ahead by an hour - it claims it is 1442 Pacific Daylight Time, but it is really

1342.

Yes, this has something to do with daaylight savings time, but I've got everything correct. The problem appears to be that over the past weekend the British Isles went onto British Summer Time - and the Windows 7 clock utilities are mistakenly pushing

UTC forward by an hour.

 

I have tried various time servers and the result is always the same - UTC is off by an hour.

 

This just seems impossible to me - how could M$ screwup something like this?
