No, I have no interest in it. Why do you ask?

Well I figured as an MVP you had not (note the way I worded the
question), but I have used IE, FF and Chrome and I now really like
Chrome. It's fast and less subject to malware attempts.

You mean because it's not a Microsoft product? I don't make my
decisions that way. I choose my products based on my personal views of
what suits me the best. Although I use many Microsoft products, many
others are competitive products.

For example, I use

- WordPerfect in preference to Word

- Quicken in preference to Microsoft Money (even back when
Microsoft was still producing Money.

- Forté Agent in preference to Outlook Express, Windows Mail, or
Windows Live Mail

- Maxthon in preference to IE.

Isn't Maxthon just a front end to the IE engine?

Technically, yes, but it changes the interface almost completely, and
adds many wonderful features. In my view, the result makes it the best
browser on the market (at least the best one I've tried.) I like it
much better than Firefox, for example.

It is quite a good idea to have more than one web browser. My reason for
saying that is because when accessing a web page, and finding that error
messages, or worse, are generated, the simplest way to find out whether the
page has faults is to try it with another browser. In doing this, it is
sensible to leave the second browser settings as the defaults. If the
second browser works, of course that is a dead giveaway that your browsers
settings will not allow the page to display properly.

If you actually have a look in your Programs File folder you will see a
Windows Mail folder.
C:/Program Files or C:/Program Files (x86)
Although mine didn't run until I simply copied over the same folder from
Vista
Personally I prefer Windows Mail to Window Live Mail

Outlook has compacting. Archiving is a different thing. If you haven't
compacted OL lately, perhaps you should go to the Control Panel, Mail
icon, Data Files, select the .pst fle, settings and click on "Compact Now".
