Windows Contacts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows Contacts is a new unified contact and personal information management application, which replaced Windows Address Book (WAB) in Windows Vista. Windows Contacts integrates with Windows Mail. It uses a new XML based file format where each contact appears as an individual .contact file, and features extensibility APIs for integration with other applications. It can store custom information related to contacts, including display pictures. The legacy *.wab, *.vcf (vCard) and *.csv (Comma separated values) file formats are also supported.
Windows Contacts offers very basic features and has absolutely no integration with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Calendar, Windows Live Mail Desktop or Outlook Address Book. Synchronization using Windows Mobile Device Center is not supported too. It only supports vCard 2.1, not vCard 3.0 and cannot import/export multiple contacts as a single vCard file.
