You mean, since before the NTP hole got patched?!  BTW, time.microsoft.com
doesn't exist for the rest of the world, you may want to find another
server on principle--you can't figure out what stratum it's in, so can't
verify the quality of the data.  Assuming that it truly IS a
bastardized NTP, a UDP spoof may be a good thing, especially since MS
seems to be banking on the security through obscurity thing, so probably
didn't take any extra precautions or even make provision for them.

I can be immature if I want to, because I'm mature enough to make my own
decisions.
