The time is the always same as the host How long do you keep it up though Odhiambo and how intensive are you using your native OS? I have a similar setup and while it sync's on boot, I routinely lose 15 minutes a day (I keep it up 24x7). I think it is not so much a bug in VMware as opposed to the host OS running slower than it thinks (e.g. maybe a second of OS time is really 1.000001 seconds of real time adding up over long periods) if the native OS is under moderate to heavy use.
