1. The only way you can share contacts and keep them synced
is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail (WLM) on both computers.
WLM uses a Hotmail account as the middleman for syncing.
2. Not a mail question, thus off-topic here.
3. POP accounts can't be synced. You would have to switch
to IMAP accounts.
4. I have both Ultimate and Home Premium on separate Vista
computers, and I can't tell the difference.

I have Windows Live on each machine just to use the file sharing and to talk
to some friends. But I don't use it for mail. I use Windows Mail on both
machines. Sorry I confused you.
What program should I use to transfer my data from the desktop to the
laptop.?? Will my pictures which are coming fromG:\ windows\user\ etc. ?? on
the desktop go to c:\windows\user\pictures??
Do I need to partition the laptop so the files won't be confused as to where
to go??
