Yes, I appreciate that requirement.

Both Windows and Linux, if incorrectly configured, can have problems with 
lost interrupts.  I have been unable to reproduce the lost interrupts 
problem with recent versions of Windows (XP Pro SP2).  I would recommend 
NTP over W32time for the best timekeeping with good monitoring and control 
functions.
