That doesn't seem right. Some forms of virtualization virtualize the
time in this manner, but some do not. For instance on a multiple
processor system, any type 1 hypervisor like xen or Hyper-X should be
able to keep the  time just fine. With other types like VMware and
Virtualbox that share the resources between the host OS and the
virtual one, it only stands to reason that the time keeping will be
shaky at best.
