Correct me If I'm Wrong, but is the big errors in PC clocks not due to the BIOS only storing the Hours & minutes, not the seconds ? Each reboot would discard the seconds ( average loss 30 seconds each reboot ? ) MS OS's being what they are, a large anomaly can build up really quickly. The clock is a silicon crystal for fsck's sake. It keeps time.

Of course ! They have DoS, not windows !

crashes my IE on OSX, so I presume the exploit is open.
