I don't think that's a valid assumption. Many of us choose French as 
default language, but we wouldn't want to be placed in the France 
timezone. Of course, Windows does ask for "Location", and it should at 
least use that for a timezone guess, but the language selection 
shouldn't be a factory, imo. Unless you want to get into bloated code 
such as if (Location == CANADA && Language == FR) Timezone = Quebec.

Then again, choosing Seattle isn't better either. I would just start 
with GMT as default. Makes everyone happy.
