How do you explain to the end user that mail he sent to his colleague (working on the same computer) at 09:00 shows up as having been sent at 10:00? Telling him that the computer must be set to GMT is likely (especially if the said end-user is a CEO or something) to result in the machine being dumped the next year and replaced with an array of Un*x playstations which "do not have to be set to GMT".
