There was a time, not so very long ago, when, at every tolling of the hour
by Big Ben, the British Ensign was being raised, at sunrise, somewhere in
the world.

Today, with every tick of the Atomic Clock at the National Bureau of
Standards, thousands of computers around the world are booting up the
Windows Operating System (some for the eighth time that day).

I think that anyone who bothered to check discovered this problem after
they upgraded to SP2. You can check old newsgroup postings via google
and see a flood of people reporting this problem, along with a variety
of supposed fixes. But I don't think anyone has a clue what broke this
when SP2 was installed. Some ignore the problem. Some suggest trying
a different time service on the net.

And they spent a billion dollars for this?!?
