Vista - WLM vs Windows Contact list

How do I sync "Windows Live Mail Contacts" and "Windows Contacts?"

Thanks.

I should add that my most current list is the "Windows Live Mail
Contacts" but ITunes wants to use the Window's Contacts list, that is a bit
out of date.

There is no automated way to keep those two sets of contacts
in sync.
You should probably complain to iTunes.

A1.
You don't sync WLM Contacts with Vista's Windows Contacts

A2.
Open iTunes, Connect the iPod
Uncheck the option to sync the Contacts, then perform a sync(this will clear the contacts)
Close iTunes
Open WLM(in advance decide if you would like the default Contacts(no LiveID signon) or a Live ID contacts(LiveID signon)
Export your WLM Contacts to a csv file, close WLM
Open WM
Export your contacts in WM to a CSV file as a backup, then delete the WM Contacts
Import the WLM Contacts(saved earlier to a csv file) using the WM interface
Close WM
Open iTunes
Recheck the option to Sync Contacts
Perform a sync.

Repeat the process whenever necessary after updating WLM contacts, or manually update your Contacts on the iPod(if your iPod
supports manual entry). I can't attest if contacts updated manually on the iPod will sync with WM Contacts, I do know(in my
specific case)that sync occurs 2-ways with Outlook on an iPod Touch

It took me a few times, one corrupted file and a few errors on my part,
but I did get it done. Thanks.

Now the question will be, "Can I remember it next time?" or can ITunes
update their software to sync with WLM?
