That often confuses me, too! :>(
But: OE runs on WinXP, not on Vista. WM runs on Vista, not on WinXP. WLM
runs on both!
OE and WM are integral parts of WinXP and Vista. WLM is an installable
application. WLM can run side-by-side with OE or WM, as appropriate. In
fact, since OE/WM cannot (by mere mortals) be uninstalled, everybody running
WLM also has either OE or WM installed, too. Good old Microsoft! ;^}
WLM is part of Windows Live, which Microsoft would like us all to run on
everything, I think. So far, the only "Live" product I'm using is Windows
Live Mail.
