Does Outlook have to be open for my calendar reminders to pop up?

Outlook isn't included in the Home and Student version for a reason.

POOR ANSWER. I miss the reminders popping up when I turn on my computer.
Seems strange that although the 'TECHNOLOGY' is different from the Works
calendar compared to the Outlook 2007 calendar that your professional
software engineers haven't yet found a solution to this dilemma; Especially
since the first posting was over 4 years ago.

The reminder engine in Works uses different technology than Outlook- outlook
uses the MAPI service and needs to load and run in the background for a
reminder service to use it. Minimize outlook to the tray and you won't know
its running - you'll get reminders as needed.

When is Microsoft going to get into the 21st. century? I have been waiting
for calendar reminders since replacing Microsoft Works with Office 2003.
My
MISTAKE!(Microsoft Works has a small reminder engine that runs at start
up.
Outlook
doesn't and needs to be running in order for your reminders to work.) How
difficult could it be to use same technology with Office Calendar ? We who
need reminders do not always have our Office Program open throughout the
day
and this reminder is very important to those of us with various
appointments
throughout the day. Please consider this most urgent need and request for
your loyal constomers. User friendly is great!

Will Outlook Calendar in the near future have the ability to have the
reminders occur on your desktop even if Outlook isn't running?
