Wow, that's actually quite good news, since that's probably over 70% of
the installed desktop market. [Source: Statistics pulled out of my a**].

Ok, let's just say its a large portion. Yeah. That'll work.

So, then, that's the next battle. Get the little NetGears, Linksyses,
DLinks, SMCs, etc. to all listen to the DHCP NTP option. Then to pass it
on to their DHCP clients. Now, it'd be even better if they themselves
became NTP servers and passed their IP to the clients, but... well, one
step at a time.
