time zones do not match" when opened
This update fixes an issue for users of Entourage 2004 11.2.3 and Mac  
OS X 10.4.5 or later that caused all open calendar event windows to  
display the warning: "Event and computer time zones do not match. In  
Calendar Views, the event time is adjusted to display correctly."

Exchange performance in organizations with Macintosh client computers  
running Entourage. Office identities created before installing Office

after the identity was upgraded.
