On this Vista system right now "net stats srv" says:

  Statistics since 27/01/2009 16:04:50

systeminfo says

  System Boot Time:          29/01/2009, 12:13:49

There is an event in the event log:

Log Name:      System
Source:        EventLog
Date:          27/01/2009 16:04:44
Event ID:      6013
Task Category: None
Level:         Information
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:
Description:
The system uptime is 39 seconds.

There is nothing in the event log near 29/01/2009, 12:13:49 that suggests a 
reboot happened then, and I don't think I rebooted then and the latest 
USER32/1074 "Shutdown Type: restart" was at 27/01/2009 14:44:39.

A later event says:

Date:          30/01/2009 12:00:59
The system uptime is 85630 seconds.

Which is consistent with the 29/01/2009, 12:13:49 time and so almost 
certainly wrong.

This is a dual core laptop that has been in hibernation since booting so 
make what you will of what the numbers say. If Windows does not have a way 
to report last boot time accurately then there is not really anything 
cygwin can do to get around that.
