Re: Contacts- Windows Live & Outlook..

Anyway, there's no real advantage either way... both methods will allow you to sync your contacts for a backup, so it's purely a matter of which you prefer. If you use Windows Live for other things-- messenger, email, etc.-- I would say it's probably easier to keep them all in one place.

PS-- (to both you and 3boos) You may want to make sure that you're using the latest version of Windows Live as it fixes several issues with freezing up and other flaky behavior.
i just installed the "latest update" and it deleted windows live from my ppc.any ideas?.and yes i restarted and retried it 5 times.it wont even load windows live now.
edit: it wouldnt finish loading because i was logged in on xbl.
