Want to enable additional clocks and time zones in Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04? Well, this brief tutorial is going to show you how to.

Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) have the ability to display multiple time clocks on the taskbar or panel easily. If you live in one city and want to quickly find out the time in another time zone, then you may want to enable this feature.
