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.
