- I like to keep the original dates on my photo files.
- If I archive them through windows, I know when they were shot without 
- opening them.

Until you move them.. I think even the MS-DOS FAT and NTFS still
loose that information.  However, the "last modification time"
will still reflect the date taken, until you attempt to edit
them.

- If I archive them through Linux, I know when I finally got around to 
- emptying my card.

If you shoot as JPEG's, the EXIF information still exists, and
is still there.. Various tools exist to display that
information.
