But most Linux distros do this by default as well. You have to mount with noatime to get rid of it.

In fact nowadays most (all?) linux filesystems use relatime as default, which carries most of the advantages of both atime and noatime. See http://kerneltrap.org/node/14148

I don't know if something similar exists under windows (I suppose it doesn't).

Linux has defaulted to relatime since 2009.
