Windows does not know how to use the hardware clock set to GMT, it 
expectes it to be local time, then figures out GMT based on time zone. 
(dumb.)

So I don't think you really have the hardware clock set the way you 
think you do.

 From what I hear, if you want Windows to use the hardware clock, you 
need to set it to local time.  There is a Hoary setting somewhere to do 
the same.
