The system clock in Vista also maxes out at 2099. Outlook 2007 goes to
the end of August, 4500.

There's been some silliness on this thread and I wanted to verify some
of the data so of course I turned to Microsoft.  I brought up the
calendar on my XP system and slowly advanced the year forward.  As it
ticked to 2013 I breathed a sigh of relief, but 45 minutes later my
heart stopped when I saw that Microsoft was predicting the end of the
world in 2099!  Ok maybe not the end of the world ... apparently there
is going to be some tear in the fabric of space and time that leads us
back to 1980, but that's almost as bad!

Relax, Peter.

"My calendar ends on the 31st of December, the end is nearer than
you thought!" brilliant!
I've got a few days on you.  My (weekly) appointment
calendar ends Jan. 3 ...


      Oh no. I'll be left all alone! My calendar ends in
April sometime.
