Just to throw fuel on the fire ... and to warn others ...
In another thread here Diane pointed out this article:

http://www.slipstick.com/problems/recur12yrs.asp

I believe that by default when you enter a date in the birthday field
that Outlook does replicate it on the calendar as an all-day annually
repeating event starting on the actual date of birth and repeating
"forever". Based on the article above, repeating forever is a bad
idea.

Is there a better way to handle the bug than to put the calendar in
table view and sort by event type then edit all the repeating events
to be a sliding window of (say) 10 years of birthdays, and shorter
windows for events that repeat more frequently?

Slipstick says "A future update may address the problem" ... would
Microsoft necessarily publish an advisory that the bug was fixed?
