Mark,
Vista and Windows-7 can be tamed, and I am seeing about 25 microseconds
averaged jitter on two Windows-7 stratum-1 servers right now (PCs Alta and
Stamsund). This is not as good as the 2.5 microseconds averaged jitter on
the XP server, Feenix, I agree. You can see my current results here:

(Note that the FreeBSD PC Pixie was on and off yesterday for NTP updates
and a reboot).
As far as I am aware, serialpps-ppsapi-provider.dll can live anywhere on
the PC (provided you set the environment variable which points to it), but
in my case the \Tools\NTP\ tree is an obvious location.
Cheers,
David
