What are the benefits of using Live Mail?

I've read all I can find about Live Mail, but I don't see the benefit to using it and merging it with Outlook 2010.  Could you send me a link or something that explains it fully?  Maybe I'm just being dense.

We all have different opinions, and some people like a particular
piece of software and others dislike it.

That said, I'll tell you my opinion: there are many different e-mail
programs available, but Windows Live Mail is perhaps the worst of all
of all of them. But I like Outlook a lot.

I had some of the techs in another forum encouraging me to use it.  Frankly I'm happy with the current Hotmail, but didn't want to be pigheaded.  Thanks for your input!

You're welcome. Glad to help.

We, of course, are all different and have different opinions. Windows
Live Mail is unable to properly do a quotation with the > character
starting each quoted line.  So as far as I'm concerned, that
completely rules it out as anything I would want to use.

And just to show you how different we all are--you like Hotmail and I
hate that to. I think any web-based e-mail is greatly inferior to a
decent e-mail program.

Windows Live Mail is another Mail Client. If you have Outlook 2010 installed (and access your Windows Live Hotmail-recently-renamed-to-Outlook.com account in Outlook 2010), you probably do not want to install Windows Live Mail.
