Outlook Calendar Month-view should show TODAY, not "1st of month"

I like the Calendar view in Outlook, and use it by default. But it has one
MAJOR flaw. To repro: set your computer's date to (for example) January 30,
2006, or any day in the 5th week of the month.
Now, open outlook, go to the Calendar view, and click on "month".
Note that, instead of hilighting the current day, it actually highlights
December 26, 2005. This problem has caused me to be late to numerous meetings
that I didn't think I had, because at the quick glance, there were no
meetings on the current day, and it required me to scroll the window down to
even see the current day.

I just did what you describe and January 30 is highlighted, just as I would
expect.
 
Are you using the "Month" view? Because there are multiple machines here all
with the same problem.
 
This seems to be a worldwide problem. Very frustrating. Clearly it is a fifth
week issue for it disappears if you set the system date to 1st February
 
Looks like this problem occurs when you have six rows of dates to be
displayed. This is dependant on what days the month starts and stops on, so
if the pattern continues we will see the same problem in July06. I have
tested this and it is replicating.
