Hmm. Both Vista and XP updated themselves here. I didn't have to change
either one manually.

This is because neither OS can be sure the other has updated the clock (in
all honesty they're not aware of each others existence). This happens when
dual booting with any collection of operating systems.

Each OS will change the clock once, the same way they'd do it if only one
was installed. It just so happens you have two installed and so it gets put
forward twice.

Yeah, same here. I have to let it synchronize to the internet time to
undo what Windows Vista did.

That's what I was saying happened to me. BOTH applied the update so I'm
now one hour ahead of DST.

See Paul's message here.

Yes I could see why it happened but I don't recollect anyone mentioning this
in all the messages I have seen about DST and the date changes and I see a lot
of messages in different places!

This happened to me today as well. I just assumed that Vista screwed up
and sprung forward 2 hours. What you say makes sense, even if it is
annoying. I just manually set it back an hour, but I should have forced
Vista to do a time check.

DST -- Dual booters beware!

I booted up to XP Pro this morning and it put the clock forward by one
hour ..... that's the good news.

I booted up later this morning into VISTA and it put the clock forward
one hour ... that's the bad news ......

Probably doesn't need VISTA to do this -- anyone else run into this
problem?

I hope it doesn't happen every time I switch OS's today ......

Not exaclty. Linux rely on RTC working at GMT, so it adjust time without
changing hardware RTC. I wonder why Vista doesn't do it that way?

Been happening to me since I first started dual booting XP and ME. It
changes only once per operating system. You can set it back the 1 hour and
everything will be okay, or wait until your next internet update and it will
be corrected for you. The time is stored in your BIOS and updated by
Windows who doesn't know or care that you had another system do it. If they
had sharp programmers, all they would do is force an internet update on
first boot when after the scheduled change over. Not complicated, but does
require thought.

On a dual boot system, turn off adjust for DST in one of the systems.
Problem solved.
