Okay I installed Windows 7 on my Unibody Macbook this morning and I love it. Boot Camp was super easy to use and all that good stuff. It was my first time boot camping my Mac.

The thing is I noticed the clock is always wrong when I change from Snow Leopard to Windows 7. It's wrong for both OS's lol

It's not really that big of a deal but it's a little annoying. So does this happen for anyone else?

Texas, where else?

Next time you're booted into Windows, update Bootcamp there.

Been over a year since I had Win on my Mac (except just to see if Win7 would install), but I think that update to 2.1 takes care of it.

Yep. Windows and UNIX handle the time zones differently. I believe the Boot Camp drivers sort that out, but you might have to wait for the clock to automatically set itself when you switch OSes.

Yep, the clock automatically synchronized with the time server. It just takes a few minutes to do so.
