Here's the actual link:

Basically, the MS guys moved most everything into a kernel mode driver
and alter NTP to poll every 4 seconds. No problem for their
application, since all devices are on the same LAN as the master audio
clock. I can't decide if the ±50µs accuracy is impressive or not...
but obviously they wouldn't have modified NTP so heavily if it would
have met the application's needs out of the box.
