There are daylight time changes coming in mid
March and unless you update your system, your computer time will be wrong
and once you do, appointments falling in the affected periods will be off an
hour (Mar 11 - Apr 1 and the first week of Nov).
Windows update will install a patch that reflects the new daylight times,
but only on Windows XP and 2003 systems. Users of older OS's will need to
make the changes themselves. (Vista has the changes included.) If you use
Outlook 2007, it should offer to fix your appointment times on the next
restart after the time zone update is installed. If you use an older version
of Outlook there is a tool you can download to fix your appointments. (These
tools are also good for changing appointments if you move to a new time
zone.)
The time zone update tool is found in Outlook 2007's Tools, Options,
Calendar options dialog or can be downloaded from Microsoft.
