This free tool called Microsoft Time Zone runs as a tiny icon in your system tray and allows you to watch the current date and time of upto 5 cities around the world simultaneously.
Microsoft Time Zone also lets you compare times at different places in the world without changing your system time. Would be of great help when you are scheduling that next meeting with a client who's on the other side of the Pacific. Thanks Sudhakar.
Alternatively, you can keep an eye on the current time around the world with any of these Visual World Time Clocks or use search engines like Google, Yahoo or Ask.com to find the current time in any city around the world.

I second for FoxClocks. I could not change the locations in MS time zone, only user defined locations can be changed.Since only 5 My Locations are allowed, I can not have my location unless I removve some default one.
May be I failed to figure it out but FoxClocks, very simple, liked it.

Hi,
Does anybody know if the Microsoft TimeZone application is up to date with the latest DST changes?
I have a laptop here that is fully patched with MS DST updates, but it appears that the TimeZone application isnt aware of the new DST timezones..
Thanks and Regards,
Phil P
