It's highly doubtful we'll see changing in the current versions but Outlook
14 might do something about travel time.... the live maps addin will add
travel time appointments if you need it now. Or just add the travel time to
the appointment time and note the meeting's start time at the other location
in the notes or subject area:
Meeting @ 10 am
Location: across town
Start: 9:30 AM
End 1:30PM
> 1: If creating the appointment, I can invite attendies, include myself
> and rescources, but apply a pre and post time component on my self. Just
> two little extra field to the right of the Start / End (all day event)
> times.
>
> 2: If reciving an appointment, and when accepting then the ability to be
> able to apply a pre and post time component on my self.
>
> 3: It could even be a default time to be applied when ever the time is
> "out of office". Note: Pre is often shorter than the Post for many
> reasons.
