Rob, In the case of the Windows Time Service, until recently the /best/ advice was to replace it with NTP. I am working in an environment where accuracy to within half a second or better is sometimes required, and NTP provides that. I have tried many programs over the years, and come to the conclusion that Meinberg's NTP installation is the easiest way to get what I need. It doesn't mean that there aren't things I would like to see improved, though!
