By this I assume you mean that QueryPerformanceCounter is not monotonic, because it certainly is high precision.
I don't understand why you have come to this conclusion.  The fact that some older bios or drivers may be buggy does not suffice to condem whole of windows.

Wallclock:  This definition is wrong no metter how the BDFL feels about the word.  Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_clock_time.
