Yes, the clock has almost the same date/time (seconds diff) on the HW.
Same thing if run on the target HW, or in a VirtualBox.
It looks bad that M$ is trying to sell a $900+ late beta for evaluation.
The mentioned problem is reported to dissapear if one buys a license.
Another thing is when building a Swedish install, not everything is like in
a Swedish XP Pro, there is still NOT Swedish texts for examle in cmd and in
the controlpanel and elsewhere.
