Exporting your contacts can be especially useful if you are also using another email program (like Microsoft Outlook, at work), and do not wish to create all your Windows Live Mail contacts from scratch in the other email client.

Since these are nearly universally supported, you should not have any trouble importing in another email application the contacts you exported from Windows Live Mail.
