does this mean that you finally don't have to keep adjust time in windows after rebooting from linux?

This is because Windows stores the RTC in local time where as Linux stores it in UTC time.

You can adjust either change the behaviour of Linux or Windows for them to match up.

I think this is caused by Windows setting the RTC to local time, whereas Linux sets the RTC to UTC. I don't think this patch will help.
