Frankly, I don't care. The problems with localtime are so numerous and subtle, handling them all is a waste of time - and it gets worst when you change your time zones often. Using UTC is the logical approach and works without bugs. Every recent operating system I know can handle UTC, even Windows Vista (bugs before SP1, works with SP1 or later) and Windows 7, and Windows XP is so old, it shouldn't be used anyway.
