It's a fairly standard thing in most Unixes (NFS is highly dependant on
accurate time for encrypted connections to work properly).  I'd be very
surprised if there wasn't a nice simple NTP client for Windows, but I
suspect that, like very nearly everything else, it would be nagware at
best, bloody expensive at worst.

As far as time servers go, I tend to use ntp1.ja.net as my NTP server.
