show us BUSY or NOT BUSY. Is there a way we can get this level of view
WITHOUT having access to the Exchange Server? (like Google calendar offers
where you can see Busy/Not busy on anyone's calendar that gives you
permission to see that.

I wrote a scheduling application on top of Exchange 2007. It books
appointments, checks for duplication, employee availability etc.

You may need to resort to something similar.

This may put you on the right track:

Outlook to publish free/busy data to the Internet

P.S. I am a masochist, so I wrote it in PHP accessing EWS. Why
masochist? There are bugs in Microsoft WSDL! It's probably much faster
to write an ASP.NET app.
