Default MAJOR PROBLEM WITH TIME ZONES

But I am not looking at my friends calendar I am looking at mine. Most
people do not schedule and all day event on the calendar to represent a 24
hour event. They use it to represent an event that occurs or needs to occur
that day but without a set time.

I've read through these boards and you seem to be the only one who think it
works correctly. Is there anyone else out there who thinks it is fine the
way it is. Or do people think Microsoft needs to make a change?

It shouldn't matter... this is what Microsoft does not seem to understand.
All day is just that all day. People do not make all day events on their
calendar to represent a 24 hour event, but rather events without specified
times. Anniversaries - Birthdays - Etc. I happen to use all day events
alot
because my business requires a number of things be completed on certain
days,
but not a specific times.


While all day events may not work as you want them to, they do work correctly.
Isn't "all-day" and "24 hours" exactly the same thing? Anywhere you go on the
earth, a day is 24 hours long. If you're in New York at noon on December 24
and call your friend in Canberra, it _is_ appropriate to wish him "Merry
Christmas" because for him, it IS Christmas. His "all-day event" is NOT the
same as yours. All-day events ARE 24 hour time slots, whether you like that
or not.
