Wab or WAB alternative?

I'm using Vista and Windows Mail regularly now. I imported my old OE
addressbook (WAB) but have updated it under windows mail now.
I want to create a backup which I can be imported back to OE. But a WAB-file
isn't possible any more? (Maybe a freeware converter program?)
I can only backup to CSV which isn't too user-friendly 'cause I have to
manually give in the categorie's.
And vCards are all seperate files, I don't think they are importable to OE?
Is there or will there be an alternative or WAB-like function in the final
Vista? (RC2)
Greetings

Re: Wab or WAB alternative?

if you UNSHARE your address books, you then should be able to IMPORT the Outlook PST into WM and make a WAB file.
