can i use both windows mail and windows live mail?

i'm using windows vista home premium. i currently use "windows mail" to get
my email from comcast email account...it is all set up and have been using it
for a year since i bought this computer. i now have windows live....not even
sure what this is. my question is can i also download windows live mail for
the purpose of receiving emails from yahoo and gmail accounts, and use this
in addition to the regular windows mail i'm using? will they interfere with
each other? will they try to merge my contacts and email accounts? in other
words, are they independent applications?

I believe your answer is in this blog:

Will the real Windows (Live) Mail please stand up? | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com
Will the real Windows (Live) Mail please stand up?

I haven't tried Windows Live Mail yet. But from the above article, it seems that you cannot continue using both at the same time.

Yes. I use both Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail concurrently, and
have done so for the past 21 months.
