Where is the Killer Calendar?

Korganizer as part of Kontact does a decent job and it actually integrates with Exchange.
Ditto. I even do fancy color coding. It syncs with Exchange 2003, which allows for an always up to day copy on the web and on my pocket PC phone.
MS did Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003 right.
I actually use an organizer / to-do list that I programmed myself in PHP and Javascript (actually using AJAX!), so that I can access it and modify it anywhere in the world! (As it resides on a web server on my computer)

Does anyone who ever worked on Outlook ever get on a plane? Ever? Do they know what a time zone is?
Anyone take an exchange server around the world? I maintain a few shipboard servers for the US Navy, and one thing I know (believe) is that Microsoft never intended for exchange servers to change time zones. If we update the time zone of the server, say advance it by one time zone, all scheduled events are off by an hour. The only solution we found that outlook, exchange, and some other software would work with (because they seem to have differing ideas about how to reflect the change) was to leave the time zone the same and just advance the clock.
It seems also that both exchange and outlook have some if-then blocks to deal with some time zone changing, but nether knows what the other does about it. I'm not sure if this has changed with newer versions of the software (we are several behind the current).
One would think that if the exchange server doesn't move (it usually doesn't), that outlook would work across time zone changes.
I want this account deleted.
