Repairing Outlook 2007 Calendar Time Zones

I woke up this morning to an Outlook 2007 disaster. For some reason, Outlook or Vista had decided that every appointment that was in my calendar under GMT, really should have been listed as Central America. Needless to say, my entire calendar was botched.

Luckily, Microsoft released a tool that is designed to fix this. Download the Time Zone Data Update Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook, Free from Microsoft’s site.

Which leaves me to wonder: If they knew enough to release the tool to fix the problem, why not just fix the problem itself?
