PGP versus the Outlook built in secure mail?

Anyone knows the difference in performance/security/usage between the
PGP system (PGP 7.0.3 or 8.0.3) and the "Secure email" that is
available on the Outlook Tools/Options/Security tab?
A frien of mine does not seem to be able to install PGP into his
Outlook 2002 and so he is suggesting to use the built-in secure email
function instead. But I am hesitant to use Microsoft security
software, there might be backdoors and what not there.
But I might be all wrong of course, so please share your experience
with this.
Thanks.
