Here's an earlier exchange on this very issue... Note that the change in DST
(enacted in August 2005) wasn't addressed in this week's update to MS
Office.

Yes, there has been a major change in when DST will start in 2007 in the US.
The change was only decided (by an Act of Congress, I think) several months
ago, long after Office 2004 shipped. I think that Apple may have already
updated the OS to accommodate the change, but Entourage has not yet done so.
MacBU knows about it, though, and are working on a change. You can expect an
update sometime - probably somewhere around the beginning of 2007 if not
before.
