Of course they do. Ambiguity like this just leads to confusion. And I know it's off topic, but I can't let your assertion that "Windows actually bases everything off local time" pass without comment. The Win32 'native' file API's (and the internals of Windows) are all UTC based. It's the implementation of stat in the Visual C runtime library that explicitly converts file times retrieved from the OS to local time. You can see this in the runtime library source code. It's easy once you know where to look. You can even step through it in the debugger. It's true that Windows runs the CMOS clock in local time, but that is a detail. It has nothing to do with the behaviour of stat, however flawed that might be.
