Thanks Atreyu for this one:
An Internet Time utility built into Windows XP Home and Professional editions that is supposed to ensure correct system time instead suffers from intermittent bouts of tardiness, PC World has learned. Microsoft intends the utility to synchronize your PC's internal clock via the Internet with the atomic clock maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The atomic clock is considered the Holy Grail of timekeeping. It is referenced daily by millions, from the military to stock market traders and researchers, by means other than Microsoft's Internet Time utility.
But repeated tests of the Windows XP Internet Time utility produced a variety of unharmonious results. Compared with the NIST's atomic clock, Microsoft was repeatedly off by as much as nine minutes.

OS Option has posted an editorial about Windows XP
Microsoft next year plans to update Windows XP to support two technologies left out of the new operating system: USB 2.0 and Bluetooth.
Both technologies are used for connecting peripherals to PCs, USB 2.0 at speeds up to 480 megabits per second (mbps) and Bluetooth over the air without wires. USB 2.0 support is expected early next year, and the Bluetooth addition should come by mid-2002.
