In fact, he goes on to provide numerous charts comparing the response of
various OS to Time Stamp requests (as well as other ICMP types under
different conditions). Apparently NT4 and Win95 do not respond while
Win98/ME and Win2k do respond. There's no mention of Win2003 or XP.

The software firewall in XP SP2 offers you the choice of whether to
respond to an ICMP Timestamp request. (well: '[] allow incoming
timestamp request' - I'm assuming that means it will respond if I tick
that box)
