IIRC Microsoft use some proprietary "standard" for NTP that breaks
compatibility with proper NTP servers, so (again IIRC) Windows is set to
poll something like "time.microsoft.com", but if you change it to one of
the standard pool servers it won't work.
I could boot into XP and verify, but frankly I'm not in the mood for the
hassle of Windows at this time in the (GMT) morning.
