WLM Address book vs Windows address book

I recently realized that WLM has a completely different copy of address book
entries than windows address book. Is there a way to merge them? \

Outlook Express used to use the default windows address book, which was
sort-of the 'universal' place to store contacts. Now every application wants
to keep its own copy.

Re: WLM Address book vs Windows address book

See
http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.c...59!32921.entry
for a horse's-mouth description of new address book features. You
can import your WAB contacts using File > Import in the Contacts
window - in an ordinary installation, this should happen
automatically. You should note that contacts are now associated with
the Live ID you use to sign in to WLMail. If you don't sign in, you
will have access to a Default set of contacts which are used only by
WLMail. Read up in Help about signing in to see what the benefits
are.
