Supposedly Microsoft's "patch" for the change in Daylight Savings Time has done more than just account for the new date... it's changing your appointments in your Outlook Calendar. For people like me who need to use Outlook's calendar with work to be able to coordinate with co-workers meetings and schedules, this could be very difficult to deal with.

We monitor each other's meetings to coordinate times where we can both meet (or a group of people meet). In other cases, where you're meeting with the CFO of your company for lunch, don't rely on your Outlook Calendar to let you know when to meet the CFO!!! aargh4.gif

yeah, but it's a company standard here. They need something that's working across our networks, at multiple locations, across 2 states, and reliable.

Well, I guess they really messed up on that last requirement. Maybe I can get them to switch to a non-windows based system for all 8,000 employees. haha.gif

It is the Gov to blam. The only reason we have daylight savings is to put more daylight at the end of the for shoping / spending money. Not to save energy like they say it does.
