I do understand that if you have a PIM it would have your schedule off by an hour but you're lucky if I write my appointments down never mind enter them.

The ramifications are that your time coordinated items can be pretty screwed up for 3 weeks now and one week in November.
Theoretical example - if your company's payroll kicks off every Thursday at what it thinks is 11:30pm at night to your bank but your bank has been updated and is already the next day, then your payroll misses the Fri 12:00am cut off and because the nature of banks over the weekend does not deposit til Monday (if it does at all)
Connecting international flights at airports not happening or not enough time between connections, supplies not showing where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be, and computer report batch jobs that have their own time source yet rely on other jobs to be completed, environmental management systems that are hard coded with time zone settings that connot be updated and must be replaced.... List goes on...
