Vista - Vista reads wrong 'Taken on'-date from JPG's

Apparently, when Windows Vista reads the 'Taken on'-date from photos taken in
the period Daylight Savings Time was not active, it automatically adds one
hour, thus making the displayed date incorrect.

An example: I have taken a photo on January 1st, at 3pm. When I view the
properties of the JPG-file, Windows Vista tells me the photo is taken at 4pm.
When viewing the EXIF in an 3rd party EXIF viewer, the date is displayed
correctly.

Windows XP does not seem to have this bug.

Can anyone confirm this bug and/or come up with a solution to it?

(For the record: my camera's clock was set correctly.)

This is interesting! In a court case this could be crucial!

Also Vista, just checking a photo from Feb/08;

Explorer properties shows 7:58 AM, file details view shows 7:58 AM
IrfanView file properties shows 7:58 AM
IrfanView EXIF info shows 6:58 AM
Windows Gallery Info shows 6:58 AM

For photos taken in June/07 the times are all synched with the EXIF time.
Looks like Windows Gallery takes DST into account.

I'm have a similar problem and I don't think its related to daylight savings time. In my case, the photos were taken in a time zone (Alaska) 4 hours earlier than my home time zone (Virginia), and Vista reads the "date taken" to be the time in Virginia when the photos were taken. I think most people want to know the time in the time zone the photos were taken.
