I should point our ntp servers at it just for giggles.
But I just meant why the heck is the default time.windows.com instead of
time.microsoft.com? Wouldn't that make more sense? Richard Stallman could

It could be owned by Xerox.
I guess Microsoft doesn't think that way. Windows is Microsoft, Microsoft is
Windows.
But we digress.
