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.


Paper calendars have no connection with time zones. Outlook's Calendar,
however, is inextricably linked with time zones. It ALWAYS operates un UTC
internally and then uses the local time zone to present a picture to you.
When you move your PC to a different time zone, you're the one modifying the
24 hour period a day represents. Outlook doesn't do it, you do. Outlook's
behavior is based on real-world calednar behavior, not your sliding time zone
personal assumptions.
