For an example of what Windows can do when running a recent version of NTP (which takes the multi-media clock behaviour into account) and syncing to a local stratum one FreeBSD server (top graph), please see: http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/mrtg/daily_ntp.html W32time, at least in its older incarnations was not good, but for many purposes today time-keeping in Windows using NTP is quite adequate.
