Default OT accurate time checks?

The Windows Time service is a NTP client and can be configured to set
the clock accurately.


To be more accurate, it's a SNTP (simple NTP) client which not all NTP
servers support.


Which sounds like its dumb and may not attempt to apply linear corrections
to the system clock, rather just relying on resetting the clock
periodically.
