Hi Joe, LF !
Some links to time-related websites for reference.
See knowledgebase of windows :

Read what is written at :

"Important !
The W32Time service is not a full-featured NTP solution that meets
time-sensitive application needs and is not supported by Microsoft as
such. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 939322,
Support boundary to configure the Windows Time service for high-accuracy
environments (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=179459)."
this link leads to :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939322/en-us
"The W32Time service cannot reliably maintain sync time to the range of
one to two seconds. Such tolerances are outside the design specification
of the W32Time service."
Have a look at the
"List of time and frequency software by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)" :
http://www.nist.gov/physlab/div847/grp40/softwarelist.cfm
My view :
"Meinberg NTP" is available for a lot of Operating Systems, it works
easily and very well at my Win7/64 PC.
