Good question, Steve. I like this kind of questions where I have to read and learn new things.

Thanks for an easy one.
I personally love this data type... it makes dealing with multi-time zone data a little bit easier.... datetime data still gives me more headaches than any other.
"Ok Ms. Smith we'll schedule a callback at 3pm your time in California on Friday"
Ok so she's in a portion of California that doens't follow DST, we're in Chicago and we do.
Is Friday in or out of DST? Do we know her correct TZ? What about when our east coast support team decides to handle this one?
*sigh*
Headaches I tell you... :)

+1 on that. I wish I'd had this data type and this function years back. We had customers in 4 time zones raging from +05:30 to -06:00.

Something seems contradictory in the answer to this question. First it says the answer is 2012/04/05 11:00:00 +05:00. Then in the explanation it says the GMT time of the result is 2012/04/05 11:00 (in other words, the answer is 2012/04/05 11:00 +00.00).
Well those two times are 5 hours apart, so they both can't be right.

Good question. Never used this data type before but I have a project coming my way soon where I may be able to leverage datetimeoffset. Very "timely" har har. Thanks.
