Check out ZoneTick (http://zonetick.com). A single license costs $25, with
big
discounts for multiple licenses. Our company bought an enterprise license
for it
so that everybody who wants it can use it.
ZoneTick replaces the normal alternating clock/date display in the Windows
taskbar with a single display that shows both day, date, and time
simultaneously.
And if you mouse over that display, it pops up a list of the local dates and
times
for a list of locations you specify. It works great and never gets in the
way.
