Default What's the difference?

Newbie question: What's the difference between Outlook and Exchange? To my
virgin ears it seems the names are used interchangeably. Microsoft even has
a website called "Outlook Exchange" (which makes them sound like
one-and-the-same application).

So, what gives?

Outlook is a mail CLIENT - i.e. it is an application where the user
downloads and sends email from. MS Exchange SERVER (to give it it's
proper name) is a program that sits on a Server and distributes the
emails sent to and from the Email CLIENT (Outlook) to the appropriate
recipients.

Exchange is not the only Email server in use, the one difference between
it and others is that it is the only server that will allow the sharing
of Outlook Calendars and Tasks as well as being an email server (AFAIK....)

That's not a Microsoft web site.
