100ns intervals. My favorite part of that story is how long after Windows 95 was released before anybody discovered the bug.
That's because people actually powered off their computer after work/leisure sessions. Someone on an unlimited night dial-up could had discovered it well before "anybody" but it's not like there was a built-in function to actually send a crash report to Redmond.
