Comment 6 for bug 946132

I can understand now what is happening, and it sounds like it isn't really a bug but a design choice.

It would also explain why it's happening on the desktop computer and not on the EeePC which doesn't have Windows on it.

Perhaps the real issue for me was not knowing that it had changed. As you say, there is still the choice to select UTC from the list of timezones.

Maybe that could be clarified? It's an alternate installer, so possibly more likely to be used by the more "advanced" user.

But I quite understand that you have competing priorities to deal with. Sometimes I marvel that you manage to stay sane at all, with all the yelling that goes on. :)
