   mike miller still lying.  What a surprise.

   If you even bothered to read what you quoted, which you may have done =
but ignored in order to continue your lying, you would have noticed the =
tool is called "Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office =
Outlook".  Note that it is not a change to Outlook or even an update
for = or to Outlook but a tool for users of Outlook to make changes to
their = data that is incorrect because of the time zone change.

  I don't disagree with that.  It is more semantics than anything else,
  e.g., how can you apply an update - via a patch.

  But I'm still wondering why Microsoft is recommending updating =
Outlook,
  i.e., why it doesn't just get its time zone info from the OS?
