It's hard, I know :-) I don't see wanting an embedded system to be like a desktop to be a reasonable justification. It doesn't serve any useful purpose that I can see. Also with there is daylight savings then when daylight savings kicks in you've got to change the clock which is *ugly* and waste of resources on an embedded device.
