Outlook Express is an e-mail client program that comes free with Internet Explorer. Outlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite and includes calendar/scheduling, notes, and some advanced e-mail features. The penalty for using Outlook is that it is much bulkier and slower than is the express program. Personally, I like the limber feel of Outlook Express, but ended up using Outlook because of the additional e-mail features that it has. On a fast computer, you should not detect much of a speed difference.
