I'm not quite understanding your problem. And I don't often use
Windows. But I would think that emacs should fetch the same couple
words (i.e., two bytes) representing the time regardless of which OS it
is running on. But I'm guessing that the problem isn't the accuracy of
the time, but rather the human-readable output derived from those words.
I trust that you've read and understand the help on
"format-time-string"... i.e.,
C-h f format-time-string [Return]
hth,
