I must not be understanding you, if I schedule an event for 8am every day,
should it not be 8am every day including the day after we change the time?
This is how it's always worked in the past, time change happens but events
still occur at 8am local time. This time when the time changed happened I
found my event was scheduled for 9am.

I didn't ask you to name them all, I asked for one.

  When I set my events, I was GMT-500 which was the correct offset, the
other
  day my timezone went to GMT-400 but Outlook didn't compensate, instead it
  moved my appointments from 8am to 9am.

  Name one application that will alert me to the events scheduled in the
  outlook schedule (without outlook running).

     Events tied to local time don't get affected by DST changes.  They only
  care that the local time is correct.  The issue with appts in Outlook are
  that they are stored in UTC and when you created them the relationship
  between local time and UTC was incorrect so the UTC time associated with
the
  event is incorrect.  The tool you run fixes these incorrect times.

     There are plenty of applications that look at your Outlook data without
  Exchange or you having run Outlook.  I couldn't begin to tell you the
  features of all of these.
