Outlook Express dbx files into Vista Home Premium

I did a data transfer from my desktop (Windows XP Home Edition) to my laptop
(HP dv9000 with Vista Home Premium). All the Address Book got transfered but
how do I open them in Vista?

Use part of these instructions:

Open Windows Mail and in the menu bar click on first ICON (contacts) after
send/receive. It should display all addresses that were imported.

What about if you choose the upgrade option in the vista setup? does that
transfer e-mails over from outlook express to windows mail?
