Is Virtual PC time sensitive?

Time Sensitivity in Virtual PC

If you use VirtualPC, be careful when saving a ‘saved state.' If the computer's clock is not properly set when you saved the state (perhaps when you're traveling you changed time zones and reset your Date & Time control panel to match), VirtualPC will not be able to restore the state. This can cause a real crisis if you have saved a state with open files … they may become corrupted or damaged. (It's a good idea to always close files before saving a state.)
