Really strange though.. Go to Control Panel >> Region and Language >> Additional Settings >> Date Change the "Long date" format to "ddd, MMMM dd, yyyy" (remove one of the 'd'). This will change it from the "Long Day" format to the "Abbreviated date" format (i.e., "Thursday" become "Thu"). Apparently the "Long date" (my terminology) also understands something about "Today", but the "Abbreviated date" (again, my terminology) doesn't, so instead of "Today" it says "Thu". Because it doesn't know it is "Today", it lists the full time. Stupid change from MS, but here is a workaround if you think it is stupid too and want your time back. I did find a way to change it.

But no, it is shit - your gripe here is just one of many things I absolutely hate about my new computer. All of them Windows based. And no drivers are available to roll the machine back to XP - arrrgh! I had to buy a 7 equipped laptop 2 months ago, because my XP one died :-(
