outlook.com is basically equivalent to gmail. Consider it the successor to hotmail.
You wouldn't use either one for corporate email.
outlook is an email client, you can use outlook with an exchange server, an imap server, a pop server or all of the above at the same time with different email accounts. one or more of those accounts might be hosted on outlook.com.
Yes, I guess you can argue that the name is a bit confusing.
