No, that's still the reason. I know that x86 CPUs have
had invariant TSCs for a long time, x64 CPUs anyway.

I wonder if the argument that the TSC isn't used because it's
not portable across VM boundaries makes sense. The TSC is con-
verted into a timestamp that indicates the 100ns steps since
1/1/1601, and the offset that is selected for this is certainly
not absolutely precise. Also, migrating a VM takes quite a long
time and never  guarantees exactly the same time. In this res-
pect, it would not be a problem to map GetSystemTimeAsFileTime()
directly to GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime(). The Microsoft
engineers probably didn't think about it.
