As far as I can tell, Windows Live Mail is exactly the same as Outlook 
Express, all the menus and dialog boxes are identical, it just has a 
different name in the title bar and a few extra buttons.

Why does installing Word mean you have to install Outlook?  I have installed 
MS Office loads of times and never once installed Outlook.  I don't 
understand why a home user would want to use it.
