 Outlook, Appointments and Time Zones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
This is in part because people don't understand that Outlook uses UTC time for appointments and adjusts the time using the time zone offset configured on the computer.
It also doesn't have an option for ‘in what time zone?’ so that you could make an appointment for 2 PM and select Pacific time zone and it would show up as 5 PM in your calendar when the computer is using the Eastern time zone.
If you create appointments when the computer clock is set for the wrong time zone, or if you move to a new time zone, you can't change the time zone without messing up the appointment times and all day appointments will span two days.

During Daylight Savings Time, the time zone displacement in the US/Eastern time zone is -04:00; when DST is not in effect, the displacement is -05:00.
If you specify time zones by using the displacement, or by using abbreviations like EST or EDT, then any operations on timestamps using these time zones will return results that use the original displacement.
But any operations on timestamps using named time zones return results that are correct for the named time zone, even if the operation crosses a DST boundary.

 Masson’s Blog - A Citizen’s Guide to Indiana » USDOT issues Time Zone ruling
Perry County’s switch to the Central Time Zone appears to have been on the strength of the Commissioners’ petition and the testimony of county attorney Chris Goffinet who said it was very important for Perry County to be on the same time as Dubois County.
