Outlook/Exchange Server Concerns

I've just moved into a new job at a new company, one that relies heavily on Outlook. I've never used Outlook on an Exchange server before, and I prefer an analog GTD implementation. Given that I'm pretty much required to use Outlook, I'm wondering whether to migrate my entire system, both work and personal into Outlook. My concern is, how secure is Outlook? Should I be worried about others gaining access to my information? I know I can set events as "private" and such, but what about personal projects, tasks, and contacts?
Unfortunately, I'm not able to install any software on my work machine, so the GTD plugin and other Outlook extensions are a no-go. I'm still coping with returning to a "traditional" file system without desktop search.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
