This is what popped up from Outlook:
Given that the meeting occurred over 148450 days ago, it is fair to say that she is gonna be a little late.
It feels like a Steven Wright joke or something. You know, like "I went into a restaurant that said they served breakfast anytime, so I ordered pancakes in the Renaissance...".
Kind of a cool Outlook feature, too!
Ok, just kidding.
But never forget the year 1601 -- it is the smallest legal year in the SYSTEMTIME struct and it is a big part of the CRT's date story too. Though I am betting on the SYSTEMTIME thing, and a [nearly?] empty struct being passed to GetDateFormat.
Someone please tell the meeting organizer that she missed the meeting. I really hope they gave up and rescheduled....

It's the base date for the FILETIME structure. FILETIME {0, 0} is 1 January 1601 00:00:00.
