At least, that is the theory. Empirically, using the vmware tools time sync feature will push a slow VM's clock forwards, but it won't push a fast clock backwards. I'm yet to see a "best practice" for ensuring proper time synchronisation within VMware VMs, but for now, NTP seems the best option.

"As a side note ... if the clock GAINS (runs to fast) time you should be able to fix it with this:
(by setting the correct host.cpukHz) and vmware tools should adjust a clock that is too slow.
