  No "function of Outlook" needed to be fixed.  What you are updating is =
your scheduled events.  This only applies to events you scheduled before =
you updated Windows with the knowledge of the change in DST.  A =
consequence of that is the events you scheduled have the wrong time =
because you changed the meaning of that time.  Despite your trying to =
attribute blame for something you apparently do not understand, Outlook =
still requires no update.  This is why you can update the same scheduled =
events against the Exchange store.  The issue is with the scheduled =
events not the code that uses them.

   As for your last paragraph, I can't guess what you are blabbering on =
about.  You are not making any sense.  My question was simple, why did =
you not attempt any preperation by checking the support site when you =
were well aware and discussed in advance that the government's DST = change
had consequences to software.  It seems you answered this partly = which is
that you didn't care to prepare in which case you deserve what = you get.
