Yes that's what I was asking, so Outlook does use the system time zones,
but once used it sticks by what they were when the appointment was created,
changing system time zones has no effect on existing appointments, only
future appointments.

This is why you were saying outlook doesn't need to be patched, just the
existing appointments need to be modified to match the new time zone
information. I get it now, thanks.

   Recurring appts are complex and I can't tell you how they work exactly.
They do behave as if you repeated a bunch of single appts.

   Nothing in Outlook was changed and Outlook will continue to work as long
as the definition of the time zones does not change again just as it worked
fine before there was a time zone definition change.

  I was complaining that after the time change a recurring appointment
showed
  as the wrong time for march up until the old time change date even though
I
  had patched my time zones in Windows.

  I'm assuming that now that the time zones are patched, if I were to
schedule
  another recurring appointment it would be correct for the next few time
  changes.

     The twice a year EST/EDT change is part of the relationship.  That it
  switches twice a year remains but when it switches between EST and EDT
  changed.  That is the relationship change to which a refer.

     I don't know how recurring appts are handled in Outlook.  It's complex
as
  you can make changes to either the series or individual events and
  everything just works.  Ignore these and consider single appts since these
  are what people were complaining of being off after the government DST
  change.

    Yes it did, but it that has always been true, it changes twice a year as
  has
    been the case since I created the event in 2000. So you are saying when
I
    created a recurring event in 2000 the system created a thousand separate
    events and used the EST/EDT standard to do so and now that this standard
  has
    changed some of those events are scheduled for the wrong time and so
this
  is
    why a separate patch was required?

    So if I go and create a new recurring appointment today, it should be
    correct and not require a patch because outlook will use the corrected
    timezone information now?

       8 AM in your local time zone is not the same time in UTC every day.
  The
    actual time depends on the relationship between localtime and UTC.  That
    relationship changed.
